Victor Osimhen’s 9:45pm touchdown Wednesday turned Cairo’s Super Eagles camp into a full house of all 28 invitees, igniting sky-high spirits as Nigeria ramps up for the 35th AFCON in Morocco from Dec 21 to Jan 18—fresh off a 2-1 friendly loss to Egypt that coaches used for tactical tweaks, not tears.
Media officer Promise Efoghe hailed the Galatasaray striker as a massive morale rocket, with gym and evening drills Wednesday sharpening combos ahead of Thursday’s flight to Fes for Group C clashes against Tanzania, Tunisia and Uganda—defenders Chidozie Awaziem and Paul Onuachu shrugging off the defeat as perfect prep to fix flaws early.
Camp kicked off Sunday at Renaissance Hotel with GK Francis Uzoho first in, two sessions down despite Simon and Chukwueze’s club delays—full squad list from Uzoho to Osimhen locked and loaded, oozing focus to deliver Naija’s title dreams.
