Two countries who narrowly missed out on the 2026 World Cup meet on Wednesday (today) as Poland host Nigeria in an international friendly at the PGE Narodowy in Warsaw, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Nigeria failed to qualify for the World Cup for a second consecutive time after falling to DR Congo in the African playoffs final last November, while Poland were denied a place at the global tournament after losing to Sweden in the UEFA qualification play-offs.
Since missing out on the World Cup, the Super Eagles have begun a rebuilding process under coach Eric Chelle, finishing third at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. They have also won three of their last four matches, scoring at least two goals in each of those games.
