SUPER EAGLES COMPLETE 24-MAN CAMP AS CHELLE INTENSIFIES PREPARATIONS FOR TANZANIA CLASH

The Super Eagles have completed their 24-man camp in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, ahead of Friday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter against Tanzania.

All invited players have now reported to camp, giving head coach Eric Chelle a full squad to work with as preparations intensify for the crucial two-legged fixtures.

Captain Wilfred Ndidi, Ademola Lookman, Alex Iwobi, Victor? No — Moses Simon, Tolu Arokodare, Calvin Bassey and Ola Aina are among the key players available for selection.

The squad initially experienced a delayed start to preparations due to flight scheduling challenges, with only 10 players reporting on Tuesday. Seven more subsequently joined the opening training session before the remaining players arrived on Wednesday.

Nigeria will host Tanzania at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday, November 13, with kick-off scheduled for 5pm Nigerian time. The Super Eagles will travel to Zanzibar for the return fixture on November 17.

Nigeria currently have three points in Group L following a 2-1 victory over Madagascar and a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau. With Tanzania already qualified as co-hosts, the Super Eagles must secure positive results to strengthen their chances of reaching the 2027 AFCON in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
