Super Eagles players have reported to camp in Polokwane ahead of Friday’s 2026 World Cup qualifying fixture against Lesotho, and the group will complete their first full training session today.
The players who have already linked up with the coaching staff are:
Troost Ekong

Head coach Eric Sekou Chelle and his technical team will continue work with the early arrivals while the remainder of the 23-man squad are expected to join in the coming days. Preparations have been complicated by visa delays affecting some players’ travel plans, which could push back a few late arrivals.
Nigeria travel to South Africa for the Lesotho game before returning home to host Benin in the remaining qualifier match.
