Nigeria face two critical matches in March as they attempt to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals. Here is how the squad looks.

Eric Chelle officially became the first non-Nigerian coach from Africa to manage the Super Eagles on Friday. The Malian took charge of his first game – a 2-0 win in Rwanda in a 2026 World Cup qualifying fixture.

The first batch of players, including Victor Osimhen, Bruno Onyemaechi, Papa Daniel Mustapha, Kayode Bankole, Amas Obasogie, and Tolu Arokodare, arrived early and participated in a gym session on Monday evening.
