A new friendly match between the national teams will take place on Thursday evening at 18:45, between Portugal and Nigeria.

The match will be played at the José Alvalade and Lisbon stadium and will be the last test for Portugal before the start of the World Football Championship in Qatar 2022, which will begin on Sunday, November 20.
Portugal:
Portugal is qualified for the World Football Championship in Qatar 2022, which will start on Sunday, as we said above. Tonight, Portugal will not be able to rely on Cristiano Ronaldo, a player who is injured. Portugal had to work to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, after passing Turkey and North Macedonia in two play-off matches, and this because in the preliminaries it took second place. The last match played by Portugal was in the UEFA Nations League, where they lost to Spain 0-1.
Nigeria:
On the other hand, Nigeria missed the World Championship in Qatar 2022, after playing a double leg against Ghana. In the first match, Nigeria lost 2-0, but in the second leg they achieved a similar victory with 2-0, the goals being scored in the 76th and 94th minutes, but in the kicks from 11m, Ghana was better and won by 5 -4, managing to qualify for the final tournament. Nigeria played two more friendly matches after missing the qualification, losing the duels with Algeria, score 2-1 and with Costa Rica, score 2-0.
