The Super Eagles of Nigeria are all set to take on the Reggae Boyz of Jamaica at Charlton Athletic’s Valley Stadium in the 2026 Unity Cup final, Afrik Foot reports.

Eric Chelle’s side defeated Zimbabwe in the semi‑final, thanks to a double from debuting Millwall winger Femi Azeez, who scored once in each half to secure the final spot for the Green and Whites.

Jamaica, meanwhile, breezed through India in the second semi‑final. Walsall’s Courtney Clarke and Charlton Athletic’s Kaheim Dixon scored to send Rudolph Speid’s side to the final.

Arthur Okonkwo starts his second game for the Super Eagles, alongside the full‑backs Kenneth Igbokwe and Oputa.

Tochukwu Nnadi and Alhassan Yusuf Abdullahi continue in midfield while Tijani and Femi Azeez complete Chelle’s diamond.
