The Super Eagles have officially opened their training camp in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, as preparations begin for their crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying double-header against Tanzania’s Taifa Stars.

Head coach Éric Chelle has named a 24-man squad for the two encounters, with invited players expected to arrive at camp on Monday. The team is scheduled to hold its first training session on Tuesday at the practice pitch of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

Nigeria will host Tanzania in the Matchday Three fixture at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium next Friday before travelling to Dar es Salaam for the return leg on Tuesday, November 17.

The Super Eagles will be looking to secure positive results from both encounters as they seek to strengthen their qualification hopes and recover from their earlier defeat to Guinea-Bissau in the qualifying campaign.
