According to the statement from the nation’s governing body, the Super Eagles will be up against Venezuela on Friday, 14th November 2025 at the Shell Stadium in Houston, Texas, US, with kick-off billed for 8 pm Texas time.
Four days later, the 2013 AFCON winners will then take on the Los Cafeteros of Colombia at the Citi Field Stadium in Flushing Meadows, borough of Queens, New York, with kick-off also scheduled for 8pm Eastern Time (1am Wednesday, 19th November in Nigeria).
It is the first time the Super Eagles will be playing on US soil since the 2-1 defeat to Mexico in erstwhile coach José Peseiro’s first game in charge. The Eagles also took on Ecuador’s La Tricolor in New Jersey, losing by a lone goal during that period.
Eric Chelle’s side will use the US friendlies as part of preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations that gets underway just a month later.
