portugal vs nigeria will be staged in Leiria on Wednesday as Portugal closes its World Cup 2026 run in with a final friendly, and Cristiano Ronaldo is among the players named in the squad.
Roberto Martinez has seen his squad bolstered by the return to training of four Paris Saint Germain players, and Nuno Mendes, Goncalo Ramos, Vitinha and Joao Neves are all in contention to start after a brief break following a triumph in Budapest.
Portugal beat Chile 2-1 in a recent warm up and Ronaldo played the first half of that match, which leaves open the possibility he could be rested to start in this friendly.
Nigeria arrives without World Cup qualification but with strong recent form, remaining unbeaten across 10 matches excluding extra time and penalties, as reported by The Big Lead, and the Super Eagles drew 2-2 with Poland in their last friendly.
The Nigerian squad will be missing two of its leading forwards as Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman are not part of the current group, and Portugal will have Rafael Leao available despite his red card in the recent win over Chile.
