The Super Eagles of Nigeria have officially kicked off their training camp in Kigali, Rwanda, as they prepare for their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Amavubi of Rwanda. The match is scheduled for Friday, March 21, 2025, at the Amahoro Stadium.
Players Arrive in Camp
As of Tuesday, March 18, 2025, 22 players have arrived at the Super Eagles' base at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Kigali. The only player yet to report is midfielder Alhassan Yusuf, who is expected to join the squad soon.
The team, led by newly appointed head coach Eric Chelle, wasted no time and held their first training session on Tuesday afternoon. This session marked the beginning of their tactical preparations for the upcoming qualifier.
First Training Session Under Eric Chelle
The Super Eagles' first training session under Coach Chelle took place behind closed doors, allowing the team to focus without external distractions. The session emphasized fitness, ball movement, and tactical drills to sharpen the players for Friday’s encounter.
With just a few days to go, the coach is keen on ensuring his players are fully prepared to take on Rwanda, who currently lead the group standings.
