The Super Eagles camp in Uyo is buzzing with energy as 14 players, including Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey, prepare for upcoming AFCON qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda. Interim manager Austin Eguavoen aims to lead the team to success amid a focus on intense preparation.
The Super Eagles' training camp in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, is alive with excitement as the team gears up for critical 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda. Fourteen of the 23 invited players have already reported to camp, creating an atmosphere filled with determination and focus.
On Monday, notable arrivals included Victor Boniface, Wilfred Ndidi, Amos Obasogie, and Stanley Nwabali, joining the initial group that featured Captain William Troost-Ekong, Taiwo Awoniyi, Ola Aina, Semi Ajayi, Ademola Lookman, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and Olisa Ndah. The team further strengthened on Tuesday with the addition of Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, and Frank Onyeka, boosting morale ahead of the matches.
