The Super Eagles' friendly match against Jordan has been relocated to Turkey due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East, which led to a shift from their original destination in Nigeria. The four-team tournament, also featuring Iran and Costa Rica, was initially scheduled to take place in Nigeria but was moved due to safety concerns. No new dates have been announced for the rearranged match in Turkey. The Super Eagles will now face Jordan in their first test in over two months under new coach Jose Peseudon.
