The Super Eagles have completed the arrival of all 24 invited players in camp in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, ahead of Friday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania.

The team confirmed the development in a post on its official X account on Wednesday, signalling that the full squad is now available for preparations.

The squad includes captain Wilfred Ndidi, Ademola Lookman, Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, Moses Simon, Taiwo Awoniyi and Tolu Arokodare.

Other players in camp are goalkeepers Stanley Nwabali, Francis Uzoho and Arthur Okonkwo, alongside defenders Semi Ajayi, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Benjamin Fredrick, Chibuike Nwaiwu, Abdullahi Bewene and Bruno Onyemaechi.

The midfield options also include Alhassan Yusuf, Tochukwu Nnadi, Samson Tijani, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Suleiman Mubarak, while forwards Akor Adams and Moses Usor complete the squad.

The full arrival comes after flight scheduling challenges delayed the arrival of several players, with only 17 initially available for the team’s first training session.

Nigeria will host Tanzania at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Friday, November 13, with kick-off scheduled for 5pm.

The Super Eagles are seeking maximum points from the two-legged encounter after collecting three points from their opening two Group L matches.

Nigeria defeated Madagascar 2-1 in Uyo before losing 3-0 to Guinea-Bissau away from home.

The results leave the three-time African champions second in the group, three points behind leaders Guinea-Bissau.

Tanzania, who are co-hosts of the 2027 tournament alongside Kenya and Uganda, have already secured automatic qualification, leaving Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar to contest the group’s remaining ticket.

The return fixture between Nigeria and Tanzania is scheduled for November 17 in Zanzibar.
