The highly anticipated international friendly between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Argentina has been called off due to visa processing issues for the Nigerian delegation.
The game was initially scheduled to take place in China but was moved to the United States after a disagreement involving Argentina’s captain, Lionel Messi, and Chinese authorities.
Argentina will now play against Costa Rica instead, while Nigeria will have to find a new opponent as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic in June.
