Portugal chose to face Nigeria in preparation for the 2022 World Cup, and will do so once more before departing for North America this summer.
For the second consecutive World Cup, the Super Eagles missed out on qualification—a significant letdown, particularly given the tournament's expansion to 48 teams. The African continent will instead be represented by Algeria, Cabo Verde, DR Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia.

Portugal sailed through qualifying without major problems, aside from a 2–0 loss to the Republic of Ireland in which Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off. Under normal circumstances, the suspension would have ruled him out of the tournament's opening matches, but FIFA has stepped in to ensure that one of football's biggest attractions and most marketable figures will be on the pitch from day one at what is expected to be his final World Cup.
Ronaldo featured in the opening half of Saturday's 2–1 victory over Chile, with Gonçalo Guedes and Bruno Fernandes both scoring after the break. Portugal should anticipate a reasonably challenging encounter against Nigeria on Wednesday, even with the absence of Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman from the visitors' lineup.
Here's how you can catch Portugal's upcoming friendly on TV.
