The Super Eagles squad for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers has been announced, featuring the return of two key forwards, Victor Osimhen and Sadiq Umar, who are set to strengthen Nigeria’s attacking lineup. The team is also bringing fresh talent into the fold, with Nasarawa United's defender Victor Collins earning his first-ever call-up to the national team. His inclusion highlights a promising opportunity for the young defender to showcase his skills on an international stage.
The goalkeeping unit includes Stanley Nwabili (Chippa United, South Africa), Maduka Okoye (Udinese FC, Italy), and Amas Obasogie (Fasil Kenema SC, Ethiopia). In defense, experienced players like William Ekong (Al-Kholood FC, Saudi Arabia), Bright Osayi-Samuel (Fenerbahce SK, Turkey), and Calvin Bassey (Fulham FC, England) are joined by new call-up Victor Collins from Nasarawa United. Midfield options feature solid players such as Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City, England), Raphael Onyedika (Club Brugge, Belgium), and Alex Iwobi (Fulham FC, England).
The forward lineup is packed with talent and firepower. Alongside Osimhen, who plays for Galatasaray FC in Turkey, and Umar from Real Sociedad in Spain, other forwards include Samuel Chukwueze (AC Milan, Italy), Ademola Lookman (Atalanta FC, Italy), Kelechi Iheanacho (Sevilla FC, Spain), Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen, Germany), and Moses Simon (FC Nantes, France). This formidable squad is poised to give a strong performance in the qualifiers, with a balanced mix of experience and emerging talent.
