Alex Iwobi is among the key names available for selection.

However, Nigeria will be without key forward Victor Osimhen and defender Calvin Bassey, who are both ruled out due to injury.

The Super Eagles will remain in Antalya for another friendly on Sunday against Jordan, also scheduled to be played at the same venue and broadcast live on M4STV.

Nigeria and Iran have met once before, during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, where both teams settled for a goalless draw.
