Coaching staff and team officials arrived in Istanbul on Tuesday morning before proceeding to their Antalya base, where the squad is expected to settle ahead of a packed training schedule.
Players invited for the fixtures are also expected to report to camp on Tuesday as preparations begin in earnest.
The Super Eagles camp Antalya Turkey friendlies programme will see head coach Éric Chelle oversee the team’s first training session later in the evening, marking the start of tactical drills and team integration ahead of the two-match tour.
Nigeria will face Iran on Friday in their first friendly at the Antalya Sports Complex, a fixture expected to test the squad’s cohesion and readiness under Chelle’s new tactical approach.
The team will then conclude the international break with another friendly against Jordan next Tuesday, also scheduled to take place in Antalya.
Officials have described the friendlies as an important opportunity to assess player form, build chemistry within the squad, and refine strategies ahead of future competitive fixtures.
The camp signals a crucial phase in the Super Eagles’ preparations as the national team continues to rebuild momentum on the international stage.
