The Nigerian Super Eagles officially kicked off their camp in Rabat, Morocco, on Sunday, with 10 players arriving early to prepare for the crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup CAF playoffs. Early arrivals include stars like Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze, Tolu Arokodare, Wilfred Ndidi, Moses Simon, and captain William Troost-Ekong.
Coach Eric Chelle has finalized a strong 24-man squad featuring Europe-based talents and local standouts, aiming to secure victory in their playoff against Gabon on Thursday. A win would set up a final African playoff clash against Cameroon or Democratic Republic of Congo.
The squad reflects some changes from last month’s qualifiers, with the return of goalkeeper Maduka Okoye and defender Awaziem, while key additions include midfield creativity from Raphael Onyedika and attack depth with Chidera Ejuke.
Nigeria enters the playoffs as favorites but faces a stern test that demands discipline and tactical precision to reclaim their place on football’s biggest stage.
