Nigeria National Team Line up vs Zimbabwe Out: Check The Starting XI Of The Super Eagles

Teams are gearing up with their preparation ahead of the upcoming World Cup, with a lot of friendlies scheduled in the next few days. The Nigeria vs Zimbabwe friendly happens to be one of them, which has created visible interest among the fans.

The Super Eagles have failed to qualify for the global gathering event for the second time in a row, after failing to do so in 2022, too. They finished second behind South Africa in the group stages, which forced them to take the play-off route, but an inspired DR Congo beat them 4-3 on penalties.

The Nigeria national football team seems to have a bad run in penalty shootouts, as they fell to Morocco in the semifinals of the AFCON 2025. However, they defeated Egypt in the third-place match on penalties to secure the bronze medal.

Zimbabwe are also not in the World Cup, but will have a good chance to impress against one of the biggies of African football. They were knocked out of the group stages in the recent AFCON after two defeats and a draw against Egypt, South Africa, and Angola, respectively.

A lot of superstars feature in the Nigeria national team lineup, who are exceptionally talented and play in some of the best leagues in the world. Join us to take a look at the lineup before the match commences.
