The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to face Venezuela in an international friendly match in Houston, Texas. The match is scheduled for November 14, 2025, at the Shell Energy Stadium, home of the Houston Dynamo and Houston Dash.
This friendly match is part of Nigeria’s final preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, starting in December. It will give the Super Eagles a chance to test their squad depth and tactics.
Nigeria last faced Venezuela in 2012 in Miami and won 3-1, with Brown Ideye, Nosa Igiebor, and Ogenyi Onazi scoring for the Super Eagles.
The match’s status is somewhat uncertain due to the recent sacking of Venezuela’s head coach, Fernando Batista. The Venezuelan federation will need to find a new coach before the match.
This match will be a significant test for both teams, especially with Nigeria aiming to make a strong impression ahead of AFCON 2025.
