Nigeria Beat Jamaica to Win 2026 Unity Cup
The Super Eagles of Nigeria continued their impressive record in the Unity Cup with a convincing 3-0 victory over Jamaica at the Valley Stadium in London.
The win saw Nigeria retain the Unity Cup title and claim a fourth crown in the competition. Unlike last year’s final, which was decided by penalties, Nigeria secured victory in normal time.
Midfielder Alhassan Yusuf scored twice, while captain Terem Moffi added the other goal as the Super Eagles comfortably defeated the Reggae Boyz.
The result means Nigeria remain the only country to have won the Unity Cup since the tournament began.
Yusuf opened the scoring in the third minute after taking advantage of a mistake by a Jamaican defender and goalkeeper. The midfielder reacted quickly to score after the goalkeeper pushed a header back into the danger area.
Nigeria doubled their lead in the 58th minute when Moffi headed home a fine cross from Femi Azeez.
Yusuf completed his brace in stoppage time with an excellent solo effort to seal an impressive victory for Nigeria.
The two goals were Yusuf’s first for the Super Eagles in 10 appearances for the national team.
Nigeria also extended their unbeaten run against Jamaica to six matches, recording three wins and three draws during that period.
The Super Eagles will continue their summer programme with friendly matches against Poland in Warsaw on Wednesday and Portugal in Leiria on June 10.
