As noted by the NFF, Nigeria and Poland will face off at the PGE Narodowy Stadium in the country’s capital, Warsaw, on June 3, 2026.
Nigeria took part in and won the 2026 Unity Cup before the match, beating Zimbabwe in the semi-final before defeating Jamaica in the final.
The Polish national team heads into the match off the back of a 2-0 loss to Ukraine in their first match of the FIFA-approved international window.
Kaminski sends message to Nigeria
Polish winger Jakub Kaminski has reflected on their loss to Ukraine, admitting that his team could have done better, but the introduction of new players affected cohesion.
“There were pluses, there were minuses, we could have behaved better. Some of the players were playing together for the first time, and it's normal that sometimes there was a lack of automaticity,” he said via SportoweFakty.
The Bundesliga star added that they look forward to the match against Nigeria to build on some of the lessons learned during the loss to Ukraine.
“We still have the match against Nigeria, and we'll definitely improve the elements that weren't working today,” he added.
The match against Nigeria would not be easy for the Poles as the Super Eagles are coming off a positive run of matches heading into the game.
However, the absence of star players Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen could prove detrimental for Eric Chelle’s sides against the Europeans.
