Super Eagles B Head Coach Augustine Eguavoen has announced a 30-man squad for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers against Ghana. Among the invitees is Kano Pillars veteran midfielder Rabiu Ali, who has scored eight goals this season. Other key players include Remo Stars’ goalkeeper Kayode Bankole, Rivers United’s defender Steven Mayo, and Abia Warriors’ forward Sunday Megwo.
The squad also features notable names like Enyimba FC’s goalkeeper Henry Ozoemena, Remo Stars’ wing-back Ismail Sadiq, Rangers International’s midfield maestro Kazeem Ogunleye, and Nasarawa United forward Anas Yusuf. Nasarawa United’s Victor Collins, who was part of last month’s AFCON qualifiers, and Plateau United’s forward Adamu Abubakar also made the cut.
Nigeria faces a challenging test against Ghana, who has a history of denying them CHAN qualification. The Ghanaians stopped Nigeria in 2009 and 2023, with both encounters leaving bitter memories for the Super Eagles B. The upcoming matches provide an opportunity for redemption and a chance to secure a spot in the next CHAN finals.
The team will begin preparations at a training camp in Ikenne-Remo, where players will fine-tune their strategies for the crucial qualifiers. The depth and balance in the squad offer hope for a strong performance as Nigeria seeks to overturn its recent misfortunes against Ghana.
The players include a mix of experienced stars and young talents from across NPFL clubs. This blend is expected to bring energy, creativity, and resilience as the Super Eagles B aim to secure their place in the tournament. Fans will be keenly watching the outcome of this highly anticipated clash.
