Off to Warsaw. This Wednesday 3 June 2026, Poland host Nigeria at the National Stadium for a friendly in the international window. Kick-off at 8:45 p.m. As for broadcast, the match will be shown on beIN Sports MENA 2 HD.
What do the two opponents have in common? A shared absence from the upcoming World Cup — and for both, it’s a bitter pill to swallow. Poland, present at the last two World Cups, collapsed in March in the play-off final, beaten in Sweden by a late Gyökeres goal (3-2), and have lost twice in a row since — the latest on Sunday against Ukraine (0-2). Across from them, Nigeria — knocked out on penalties by the DR Congo in their own play-off — boast a markedly brighter run of form: three wins and a draw in their last four friendlies, not to mention a third-place finish at the latest AFCON. On the absentee front, it’s Warsaw doing the wincing, with Matty Cash, Frankowski (injured) and Piątek all unavailable, while Piotrowski and Skóraś are listed as doubtful. The Super Eagles are no better off, however — a heavy blow, a hammer blow even, with the combined withdrawals of Osimhen, Lookman and Chukwueze, plus two players held up by visa troubles. On paper, then, Nigeria edge ahead by a slim margin; still, on home soil, Robert Lewandowski and company will be determined to stop the rot.
