The last time the two nations met was in a friendly match in Miami in 2012, which Nigeria won 3-1. In that game, the Super Eagles secured their victory with goals from Brown Ideye, Nosa Igiebor, and Ogenyi Onazi.
This upcoming friendly will provide both teams with a valuable opportunity to test their squads and prepare for future competitive fixtures. For Nigeria, the match will serve as crucial preparation for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
