The Super Eagles camp in Uyo has reached full capacity as preparations intensify for Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The latest arrivals — Samuel Chukwueze, Tolu Arokodare, Raphael Onyedika, Chrisantus Uche, and Victor Osimhen — have added significant depth and firepower to the squad.
They join the likes of Ademola Lookman and Cyriel Dessers, who reported earlier, completing head coach Eric Chelle’s roster.
The team wasted no time getting down to business, holding their first training session on Tuesday evening with a focus on tactical drills, set-piece routines, and fitness conditioning. Another session is scheduled for Wednesday as Chelle works to fine-tune cohesion and integrate all players smoothly.
Osimhen’s presence brings a proven goal-scoring edge, while Chukwueze’s blistering pace and creativity on the wing are expected to unsettle opposing defenses. Arokodare adds versatility in attack, Onyedika injects dynamism in midfield transitions, and Uche provides further balance in central areas — giving Chelle a flexible squad capable of adapting to different match situations.
Nigeria will first welcome Rwanda in Uyo before flying to Bloemfontein to face South Africa. With Group C qualification hopes on the line, the Eagles must secure maximum points to maintain momentum and strengthen their path to the 2026 World Cup.
