Watch: Super Eagles practice free kicks in the rain ahead of Ecuador game

The Super Eagles are hard at work ahead of their friendly game against Ecuador. After their 2-1 loss to Mexico, Jose Peseiro is not leaving anything to chance as he drills the team in free kicks.

Nigeria have two 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches next week against Sierra Leone and Sao Tome & Principe, who won their appeal against Mauritius.

The Nigerian team is undergoing a new rebuilding process after the Portuguese trainer was hired to take over following the disastrous last few months where they failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup under interim coach Austin Eguavoen.

Nigeria will play against Sierra Leone in Abuja on June 9 in an empty stadium as FIFA ordered after the riots that followed the draw against Ghana when they missed out on Qatar.
