In the lead-up to the highly anticipated AFCON tournament in Cote d'Ivoire, Coach Jose Peseiro has announced the Super Eagles' squad of 25 players, setting the stage for Nigeria's bid for a fourth continental title.
The majority of the invitees, based in Europe, are expected to join the camp, but notable stars such as Samuel Chukwueze, Francis Uzoho, William Troost-Ekong, and Sadiq Umar have been granted permission to fulfill club commitments before reporting on Wednesday.
The team will spend a week in the oil-rich nation, fine-tuning strategies ahead of their Group A clashes with hosts Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, and Equatorial Guinea.
Despite facing criticism following a lackluster start in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Coach Peseiro remains optimistic about the Super Eagles' chances, expressing determination to secure another continental title. As expectations heighten, the Portuguese coach emphasizes the challenges posed by a tough group but asserts the team's commitment to giving their best in training and matches
