Nigeria’s Super Eagles have kicked off their 2025 AFCON preparations at Renaissance Hotels in Cairo, but only 10 players have checked in so far—coaches and staff are ready, yet the full squad is still filtering in ahead of the Morocco showdown.
Francis Uzoho arrived first past 2 a.m. local time, marking his national team comeback, followed by Stanley Nwabali, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, and later Semi Ajayi, Ademola Lookman, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Igho Ogbu, Amas Obasogie, and Tochukwu Nnadi—first training session drops tonight, with a key Tuesday friendly against Egypt at Cairo International Stadium to sharpen edges.
The three-time champs, fresh off a runners-up finish to Ivory Coast, chase a fourth crown from Dec. 21 to Jan. 18—expect the camp to buzz as more stars roll in for continental glory.
