At least 17 Super Eagles stars, including Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, have arrived in Polokwane, South Africa. Nigeria is stepping up preparations for Friday’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Lesotho.
Players Arrive in Camp
The players joined camp on Tuesday, a day after the technical crew and backroom staff set up base.
Those already in camp include William Troost-Ekong, Wilfred Ndidi, Bruno Onyemaechi, Terem Moffi, Moses Simon, Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze, Frank Onyeka, and Tolu Arokodare.
Full Squad Taking Shape
Returnee defender Semi Ajayi and goalkeepers Stanley Nwabali, Adebayo Adeleye, and Amas Obasogie have also arrived. Full training sessions are expected to begin immediately under the coaching staff’s supervision.
Must-Win Clash for Nigeria
Nigeria currently sit third in Group C with 11 points from eight matches. The Super Eagles must win their last two games and hope for favourable results from South Africa and Benin Republic.
Friday’s clash against Lesotho in Polokwane will be a decisive, must-win battle for the three-time African champions.
