Nigeria's national football team, the Super Eagles, have ramped up their preparations for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers under the guidance of interim coach Augustine Eguavoen.

The team's training camp in Uyo has seen a steady influx of players, with 20 squad members already participating in Tuesday evening's training session.

The squad's depth was further bolstered by the subsequent arrivals of goalkeeper Amas Obasogie, midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, forward Victor Boniface, and goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali later that evening.

Tuesday saw another wave of arrivals, with Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Frank Onyeka joining in the morning.
