Super Eagles Complete Uyo Camp Ahead of 2027 AFCON Qualifying Match Against Tanzania

Nigeria’s Super Eagles have completed their arrival at the team’s camp in Uyo, with all 24 invited players now available as preparations intensify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Tanzania.

The full squad assembled at the team’s base at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Ikot Ekpene after the final group of players joined those who had arrived earlier. Ten players reported to camp on Tuesday, with the remaining 14 subsequently completing the team’s gathering.

With all the invited players now present, the technical crew can focus on preparations for the upcoming fixtures against the Taifa Stars. The team has already begun its training programme, holding its first official session on Tuesday at the practice pitch of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

The players are scheduled to return to training on Wednesday night as the coaching staff continues its work ahead of Friday’s encounter. However, access to the session will be restricted, with only the opening 15 minutes made available to members of the media and club representatives.

The Super Eagles will host Tanzania at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Friday, where they will aim to begin the qualifying double-header with a positive result. The fixture is an important part of Nigeria’s efforts to secure qualification for the 2027 AFCON.

Having completed their arrival and commenced training, the Nigerian team will now concentrate on tactical preparations and building the necessary readiness for the meeting with the Tanzanian national side.
