WORLD CUP PLAY-OFFS: SUPER EAGLES LIST OUT FRIDAY, ADVANCE TEAM HEADS TO MOROCCO SATURDAY
Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is expected to unveil his final squad for the 2026 World Cup African playoffs on Friday, ahead of the team’s advance delegation departure to Morocco on Saturday.
According to a top Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) official, invitation letters have already been sent to players’ clubs, with all invited players expected to report directly to camp in Morocco by Monday.
He added that the coaching crew carefully selected the final list after evaluating several options.
Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye returns to the squad, while Brentford defender Michael Kayode is excluded for now as he remains undecided on whether to represent Nigeria or Italy.
The Super Eagles will face Gabon in their opening playoff match on November 13. Should they advance, they’ll play the winner between Cameroon and DR Congo on November 16 for a place in the inter-confederation playoff.
