With the crucial two-leg games against Benin Republic and Rwanda on the road to Morocco 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, the Super Eagles camp in Uyo has become a beehive of activities with the team’s captain, Williams Troost-Ekong, leading six others to Uyo yesterday morning.
Early yesterday, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced assistants for the interim coach of the team, Austin Eguavoen, as the team hopes to return to winning ways after their woeful start to the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
To work with Eguavoen are Fidelis Ilechukwu and Daniel Ogunmodede, both current handlers of Rangers International of Enugu and Remo Stars of Ikenne, respectively.
Others are Tomaz Zorec, a fitness trainer from Slovenia, goalkeeper trainer Olatunji Baruwa; and match analyst, Eboboritse Uwejamomere.
Troost-Ekong, now plying his trade in Saudi Arabia, led the early arrivals of Super Eagles players, followed by Nottingham Forest duo of Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina, West Brom defender Semi Ajayi, Italy-based Ademola Lookman, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and Orlando Pirates’ Olisa Ndah.
Their prompt arrival demonstrates a solid commitment to the team’s success and a willingness to put in the necessary hard work to achieve their goals. The NFF has invited 23 players for the twin qualifiers, with the rest of the squad expected to arrive as soon as possible.
As the team prepares for their upcoming matches, the Super Eagles camp is poised to become a hub of intense training and preparation. With their sights set on qualifying for next year’s Nations Cup in Morocco, the team appears more determined than ever to succeed.
