The Super Eagles have opened camp in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Tanzania.

Head coach Éric Chelle’s side are expected to begin their first training session on Tuesday at the practice pitch of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

The invited players are expected to arrive at the team’s camp on Monday, following the unveiling of a 24-man squad by Chelle on Saturday.

Nigeria will host Tanzania in a Matchday Three encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Friday, November 13, before travelling to Dar es Salaam for the return leg on Tuesday, November 17.

The Super Eagles will be looking to secure maximum points from the two fixtures as they seek to improve their chances of qualifying for the 2027 AFCON.

Nigeria are also hoping to bounce back from their defeat to Guinea-Bissau in their previous qualifying match.
