The wings will be commanded by Kelechi Iheanacho, who has been named the new captain, and Ademola Lookman, both poised to bring flair and creativity to the game.
Leading the charge in the attacking third, Victor Boniface and Taiwo Awoniyi have been entrusted with the responsibility to breach Lesotho's defense and secure a crucial victory for the Super Eagles.
The confirmed Super Eagles line-up for the match is as follows:
- Goalkeeper: Francis Uzoho
- Defenders: Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey, Jamilu Collins
- Midfielders: Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ademola Lookman
