Portugal’s national football team defeated the Super Eagles of Nigeria 2-1 in Leiria, Portugal, on Wednesday night, ending Coach Eric Chelle’s 12-game unbeaten run.
The Super Eagles have opened camp in Warsaw, Poland, ahead of their international friendlies against Poland and Portugal.
“The Super Eagles have once again become a source of national pride, displaying the famous ‘never-say-die’ Nigerian spirit against top African opposition,” he said.
The Super Eagles defeated Egypt 4-2 on penalties to claim bronze at the 2025 AFCON.
“We suffered a lot. Playing extra time consumed much energy, but reaching the final at home is a beautiful gift,” Regragui said.
