The four-nation tournament will feature Nigeria and Jamaica, who were the finalists of the previous edition, alongside Zimbabwe and India. The tournament will kick off with semifinal fixtures between the nations, with the winners advancing to compete for the trophy in the final.
The Unity Cup forms part of a busy summer for the Super Eagles, who will also face European sides Poland and Portugal in international friendlies on June 3 and June 10, respectively.
During the March international break, Nigeria recorded back-to-back victories in friendlies against Iran and Jordan, both of whom are set to feature in the 2026 FIFA World Cup across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
