The Super Eagles will begin training for the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs on Sunday, November 9.

This will be five days before they open their playoff campaign against the Panthers of Gabon.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is yet to pick the location for the game.

Eric Chelle, the head coach, is likely to unveil his squad for the game at the end of this month.

The overall champions will progress to the intercontinental playoffs, which will take place in March.
