Officials have confidently told SCORENigeria that they expect a full house of Super Eagles players in Rwanda today when the international break officially opens.

Coach Eric Chelle yesterday led two of the players from the NPFL, goalkeeper, Kayode Bankole from Remo Stars and Niger Tornadoes midfielder Papa Daniel, as well as the Super Eagles backroom staff to Rwanda via Addis Ababa.

The Radisson Blu Hotel in Kigali, which the NFF advance party booked for the Super Eagles, is expected to bubble with a full-house of call-ups by tonight.

Officials informed that Moses Simon, who featured for FC Nantes Saturday night to clear any injury fears, Igho Ogbu, Stanley Nwabali, Joe Aribo, Raphael Onyedika, Victor Osimhen and  William Ekong are all expected to fly into Rwanda today.

“The last player will come in Tuesday so that we could have at least three full training sessions,” a team official told SCORENigeria

The Super Eagles are up against hosts Rwanda Friday evening, before they take on Zimbabwe in Uyo on Tuesday, March 25, as the 2026 World Cup qualifiers resume.
