The Super Eagles have completed their 24-man squad in camp ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying double-header against Tanzania.
All 24 invited players have arrived at the team’s camp at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene, as preparations continue for Friday’s Group L encounter in Uyo.
Ten players initially reported to camp on Tuesday before the remaining 14 arrived to complete the squad, giving head coach Eric Chelle his full complement of players ahead of the two fixtures.
The Nigerian team also held its first official training session on Tuesday at the practice pitch of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
The Super Eagles are scheduled to train again tonight, with members of the media allowed to observe only the opening 15 minutes of the session.
Nigeria will host Tanzania at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Friday in their Matchday Three fixture before travelling to Zanzibar for the return encounter next Tuesday at the Amman Stadium.
Meanwhile, Chelle has three goalkeepers available for the qualifiers: Stanley Nwabali, Francis Uzoho and Arthur Okonkwo.
The defensive options include Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, Semi Ajayi, Benjamin Fredericks, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Chibuike Nwaiwu, Abdullahi Bewene and Bruno Onyemaechi.
In midfield, the Franco-Malian coach will rely on Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Alhassan Yusuf, Tochukwu Nnadi, Tijani Samson, Suleiman Mubarak and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru.
Ademola Lookman, Moses Simon, Akor Adams, Tolu Arokodare, Taiwo Awoniyi and Moses Usor complete the squad’s attacking options.
