The eagerly awaited international friendly between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and the reigning world champions Argentina has been canceled. Reports indicate that visa processing constraints for the Nigerian delegation led to the cancellation.
Initially planned for China, the game was relocated to the United States after a dispute between Argentina’s captain, Lionel Messi, and Chinese authorities.
Argentina will now face Costa Rica instead of Nigeria, with another friendly against El Salvador in March. Meanwhile, Nigeria must seek an alternative opponent as they gear up for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic in June.
