Nigeria have confirmed their starting lineup for Wednesday’s international friendly against Poland, with Wilfred Ndidi set to captain the Super Eagles at the PGE Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw.
Head coach Eric Chelle has named a strong side for the encounter, handing Maduka Okoye the responsibility of starting in goal while Ndidi leads the team from midfield. The fixture offers another important test for the Super Eagles as they continue preparations for upcoming international competitions.
Ndidi remains one of Nigeria’s most experienced players and arrives for the match after another demanding season at club level. His leadership will be crucial against a Poland side playing in front of its home supporters. Okoye also enters the game with valuable experience between the posts and will look to provide stability at the back for the visitors.
Maduka Okoye has been handed the gloves for the Super Eagles, with Wilfred Ndidi leading the team as captain. Joining them in the starting XI are Abdullahi Bewene making his debute, Igoh Ogbu, Frank Onyeka, Tochukwu Nnadi, Bruno Onyemachi, Terem Moffi, Moses Simon, Emmanuel Fernandez and Akor Adams.
The bench also provides several experienced options for Chelle, including Francis Uzoho, Arthur Okonkwo, Zaidu Sanusi, Semi Ajayi, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Raphael Onyedika, Paul Onuachu, Durosimi, Philip Otele and Calvin Bassey. The depth available gives the Super Eagles coach flexibility as he assesses his squad against European opposition.
The friendly marks an important opportunity for several players to strengthen their case for future selection while helping Nigeria build momentum ahead of competitive fixtures. With Ndidi wearing the captain’s armband and Okoye trusted in goal, the Super Eagles will be aiming to deliver a positive performance in Warsaw against a well-organized Polish side.
