Interim Super Eagles coach, Austin Eguavoen is expected to release the list of players expected to prosecute the remaining two 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda today all things being equal.
Nigeria sit on top of Group D with 10 points and will first tackle neighbouring Benin in Abidjan on November 14 and will complete their qualifying campaign against Rwanda in Uyo on November 18.
With the game against Benin holding at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium , the Super Eagles must be at their best to avoid defeat from the scene of their 2023 AFCON Final loss to Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire as well as the World Cup 26 qualifier loss to The Cheetahs last June.
“The Super Eagles will camp in Abidjan for the match against Benin,” an official privy to the arrangements told NationSports.“ The list for the match is likely to be out on Tuesday.”
Our correspondent further gathered that a chartered flight would pick up the Super Eagles in Abidjan on the morning of November 15 ‘and fly them to Uyo’ for the home game against the Wasps of Rwanda.
Benin being coached by former Super eagles trainer, Gernot Rohr, are in second position behind Nigeria with six points while Rwanda are third with five points Libya are fourth on the log with a solitary point.
The North African side were recently sanctioned and duck three points following the maltreatment of the Super Eagles in that botched Match Day Four encounter.
