The Super Eagles have now reached full camp in Uyo as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The latest players to arrive are Samuel Chukwueze, Tolu Arokodare, Raphael Onyedika, Chrisantus Uche, and Victor Osimhen — all of whom bring extra quality and strength to the squad.
They join players like Ademola Lookman and Cyriel Dessers, who had already reported to camp earlier. With everyone now present, head coach Eric Chelle has a complete team to work with.
Training Underway in Uyo
The team began their first training session on Tuesday evening, working on tactics, set-piece routines, and fitness. Another training session is set for Wednesday, as Coach Chelle focuses on building team chemistry and making sure every player fits into the system.
