Preparation for the 2025 AFCON qualifiers has begun as Super Eagles are expected to resume camping in Uyo on September 1 ahead of their match against Benin and Rwanda.
Confirming this development, a team official on Wednesday said, “The backroom staff will be in Uyo from September 1, and we expect most of the players to arrive in good time,” The Punch reports.
The three-time African champions will welcome the Cheetahs of Benin Republic on September 7 starting at 5 pm at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo and fly out to another 2026 World Cup qualifying rivals Rwanda, three days later for a second AFCON qualifier.
Since Finidi George’s exit from his designation as Super Eagles coach in June the Nigerian team is currently without a coach.
The body is currently torn between former Sweden coach Janne Andersson and Hervé Renard, with a vast experience in African football, having coached the national teams of Zambia, Angola, Ivory Coast, and Morocco.
