The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Russian Football Union (RFU) have concluded on Super Eagles international friendly game versus Russia senior national team which will hold in the country's capital, Moscow on 31st May, 2025, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

This will be the first time both countries will face each other in international football match.

Meanwhile, Super Eagles will take advantage of next FIFA window in June to allow the team's head coach, Éric Chelle perfect his tactics by playing three friendly games ahead of FIFA World Cup qualifier in September when they host Rwanda in Uyo and trade tackles with Group C leaders, South Africa.

Super Eagles hope of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup diminishes after their 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe in Uyo last Tuesday. With seven points from six games, the 2013 African champions are fourth on the log while South Africa topped the table with 13 points. Rwanda and Benin Republic are second and third with eight points apiece.
