Nigeria begins training camp for Iran, Jordan encounters

Nigeria’s senior national team, the Super Eagles, have officially opened their training camp in Antalya, Turkey, as preparations begin for upcoming international friendly matches against Iran and Jordan.

Members of the coaching crew and team officials arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday morning before continuing their journey to their training base in Antalya, where the matches will take place.

Invited players are expected to start arriving at the camp throughout the day, as the team gradually builds up to full strength.

The camp will serve as an important period for the coaching staff to assess players, test new tactics, and improve team chemistry ahead of future competitive fixtures.

The Super Eagles are scheduled to hold their first training session later tonight, marking the beginning of what is expected to be an intense preparation phase.

Head coach Éric Chelle will be looking to use the friendlies to evaluate his squad, give opportunities to new players, and fine-tune strategies.

These matches are also crucial for building momentum and confidence within the team.

Nigeria will take on Iran in their first friendly match on Friday in Antalya. The second game will come up next Tuesday, when they face Jordan at the same venue.

Both fixtures are expected to provide valuable international exposure for the team, as they continue their preparations for upcoming tournaments and qualifiers.
