Super Eagles squad augmented by Lookman and Osimhen, with Boniface training with Bremen side
Super Eagles Prepare for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers
The Super Eagles of Nigeria are gearing up for their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda, aiming to secure maximum points and solidify their position on the road to the tournament.
The squad has received a boost with the arrival of several key players. Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Cyriel Dessers have all joined the team, joining the 15 players who have already assembled in Uyo ahead of the qualifiers. Among the early arrivals are Samuel Chukwueze, Tolu Arokodare, Raphael Onyedika, Chrisantus Uche, and Osimhen himself.
The team's camp in Uyo has been buzzing with activity as the players undergo rigorous training sessions. The 24-year-old forward, Victor Boniface, trained with his new teammates for the first time on Wednesday. Boniface, who recently joined Werder Bremen on a loan deal from Bayer Leverkusen, was initially listed in Nigeria's 31-man provisional roster, but was ultimately left out of the final squad for the qualifier against Rwanda and South Africa.
The Super Eagles opened camp in Uyo on Tuesday and will have another training session at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium later tonight. The mood in the camp is upbeat as Nigeria looks to kick-start its qualifying campaign on a strong note.
It's worth noting that several top Nigerian players abroad made impressive showings last weekend, including Simon, Onuachu, and Osimhen.
The Super Eagles are not alone in their quest for a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Many countries are vying for a place in the tournament, and the qualifiers will be a fierce competition.
While the team is currently lodged at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Ikot Ekpene, their focus remains firmly on the task at hand: securing a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With a strong squad and a determined spirit, the Super Eagles are ready to take on the challenge.
Meanwhile, Victor Boniface will have to wait until after the international break to make his competitive debut for Bundesliga side Werder Bremen. Despite missing out on the qualifiers, Boniface's talent and potential are undeniable, and he is sure to make a significant impact for the Super Eagles in the future.
