Nigeria have already made history by becoming the first African nation to reach the final of the competition. Their previous best finish was third place in 2022, and they secured their spot in the showpiece match with an impressive 3-1 victory over Brazil in the second semi-final.
Earlier on Saturday, fans will also have the opportunity to watch the bronze final match between DPR Korea and Brazil, which gets under way at 15:00 local time.
