Super Eagles in camp
The camp has been buzzing with activity as players arrive from their respective clubs across the globe.
AFCON MVP and team captain William Troost-Ekong set the tone by being among the first to report on Monday, alongside early arrivals including Ola Aina, Semi Ajayi, Olisa Ndah, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Ademola Lookman, and Taiwo Awoniyi.
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.
They were followed by Benjamin Tanimu (a late replacement for Bright Osayi-Samuel), Alhassan Yusuf Abdullahi, Moses Simon, and Samuel Chukwueze.
Just before the evening training session, Bruno Onyemaechi from Portuguese club Boavista and Raphael Onyedika of Belgian side Club Brugge made their way into camp, bringing the total number of players to 20.
The Super Eagles are still awaiting the arrival of three key players to complete their squad led by main man Victor Osimhen.
Coach Eguavoen and his NPFL-led backroom will be looking to harness the talent and experience within the squad to secure strong starts in both upcoming matches, setting the tone for their qualification journey.
