The Super Eagles have officially opened their training camp in Rabat as they prepare for the crucial World Cup playoff semi-final against Gabon. Eighteen players, including stars like Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze, Wilfred Ndidi, and captain William Troost-Ekong, have already arrived at the Rive Hotel, with more expected to join ahead of the decisive match.
Head coach Eric Chelle named a 24-man squad that blends experienced internationals with in-form talents, such as goalkeeper Maduka Okoye and winger Chidera Ejuke. The team’s training schedule will intensify over the coming days, focusing on tactical drills, match fitness, and cohesion to ensure readiness for the high-stakes encounter.
