Super Eagles camp - Moffi, Ogbu, Yusuf, others join preparations for Zimbabwe showdown

The Super Eagles are set to compete in London for the 2026 Unity Cup, where they will take on the Warriors.

Running from May 26 to May 30, this four-nation tournament includes India and Jamaica, with Nigeria participating as the reigning champions.

For Coach Chelle, this event is a vital component of his strategy to rebuild the squad in preparation for upcoming challenges, such as the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Nigeria's preparations kicked off with an initial training session on Saturday evening, which featured 14 players. 

The early arrivals included Junior Ayobami, Al Ameen Tijani, Michael Alata, Adeoye Aderemi, Oputa Chibueze, Igboke Obinna, Elias Ocholi, Tosin Oyedokun, Philip Otele, Arthur Okonkwo, Femi Azeez, Owen Oseni, Tochukwu Nnadi, and Terem Moffi.

The squad was later bolstered by the arrivals of goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, Chibuike Nwaiwu, and Rafiu Durosinmi, strengthening key positions before Yusuf and Ogbu joined the group.

Several more high-profile players are still expected to report to camp, including Wilfred Ndidi, Moses Simon, Raphael Onyedika, Bruno Onyemaechi, Yira Sor, Akor Adams, Emmanuel Fernandez, and Ebenezer Akinsanmiro.

As defending Unity Cup champions, Nigeria will begin their title defence with a semifinal clash against Zimbabwe on Tuesday, May 26, in London. 

The match is a crucial test for Chelle as he continues to build his squad for future international fixtures.
