Super Eagles' Friendly Games Against Venezuela, Colombia in Doubt; Watford Eyes Player Return

The Super Eagles' planned friendly matches against Venezuela and Colombia are likely to be canceled as they focus on the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs. Watford is in discussions to re-sign a 27-year-old player who has been without a club since leaving Nottingham Forest.

The Nigeria Football Federation is expected to release a formal statement soon regarding the status of the friendlies. The team is set to face Gabon in the semi-final playoff, with the winner advancing to play either Cameroon or DR Congo in the final.
