The Jordan Football Association (JFA) has confirmed a change of venue for the four-nation invitational tournament involving the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Iran and Costa Rica.

The competition was originally scheduled to take place in Amman, the capital city of Jordan.

However, Antalya in Turkey will now host the tournament, which will serve as preparation for hosts Jordan and Iran ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

“The Jordan Football Association has decided to move the matches of the four-team international friendly tournament, scheduled for March 2026, to be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, due to the current situation in the region and the limited movement of people,” the JFA announced on its official website.

The Super Eagles will begin their campaign against Iran on Friday, March 27. Jordan will also take on Costa Rica on the same day.

Eric Chelle’s team will then face hosts Jordan in their second match on Tuesday, March 31.

Iran are also scheduled to play Costa Rica on the same day.
