In a tactical shift, Super Eagles caretaker coach Augustine Eguavoen has opted for a 4-3-3 formation ahead of Nigeria's 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Libya. The game is set to take place later today. Starting in goal is Stanley Nwabali from Chippa United.
The defense features Ola Aina at right-back and Bruno Onyemaechi at left-back, while Calvin Bassey partners captain William Troost-Ekong in central defense, with Semi Ajayi on the bench. The midfield trio comprises Wilfred Ndidi, Frank Onyeka, and Alex Iwobi, aiming to balance both defensive responsibilities and attacking support.
Upfront, Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface leads the line, seeking his first goal for the national team after eight appearances. Flanking him are Ademola Lookman and Moses Simon, tasked with providing width and creativity.
