Super-Eagles

Nigerian Super Eagles used to illustrate the story.

Nigeria, Poland in historic clash (LIVE UPDATES)

byJide Alaka
March 23, 2018
3 min read

The Eagles – as both national teams are known — will be meeting for the first time tonight, and reports indicate the venue of the match, the 42,000-capacity Stadium Wroclaw, is completely sold out.

Poland has Senegal in its World Cup group, which is why it is playing Nigeria; while the Eagles believe the Polish style is a bit similar to that of Croatia, who they play first in Russia in June.

Torino midfielder, Joel Obi, will start and play for Nigeria for the first time since he started against Scotland at Craven Cottage on May 28, 2014.

Nigeria starting XI: Francis Uzoho; Shehu Abdullahi, William Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun, Brian Idowu; Joel Obi, Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho; Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi, Odion Ighalo

Poland Starting XI: Lukasz Fabianski; Lukasz Piszczek, Kamil Glik, Marcin Kaminski; Przemyslaw Frankowski, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Piotr Zielinski, Karol Linetty, Rafal Kurzawa; Dawid Kownacki, Robert Lewandowski
