Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle will this week announce his final 23-man squad ahead of Nigeria’s crucial 2026 World Cup qualifying games with Rwanda and Zimbabwe later this month. The coach, who released an expanded provisional list of 39 players last week, will name the final 23-man squad before his first games in charge of the three-time African champions.
Among the key players on the provisional list is veteran captain Ahmed Musa who was recalled after almost a year out. The team will be back in camp on Sunday ahead of the meetings after announcing the final list later in the week following the conclusion of Champions League last-16 matches this Wednesday.
The Super Eagles are third bottom of Group C with three points after securing three draws against Zimbabwe, Lesotho, and South Africa before unexpectedly losing to Benin Republic. The subsequent fixtures against Rwanda in Kigali on March 21 and Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on March 25 are matches Nigeria needs to win in a bid to move Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the tournament co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada forward.
