The Super Eagles camp in Rabat, Morocco, has officially come alive, with Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze and Calvin Bassey among the first players to arrive ahead of Thursday’s 2026 World Cup Playoff against Gabon.
Tolu Arokodare and Russia-based forward Olakunle Olusegun are also already in camp as Nigeria opens its final phase of preparations for the crucial showdown.
Team handlers confirmed that more invitees are already on their way, and the squad is expected to be fully assembled by tomorrow.
Head coach Eric Chelle named 24 players for this playoff assignment, recalling goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, winger Chidera Ejuke and defender Chidozie Awaziem back to the squad.
With the stakes extremely high, the Eagles will spend the next few days working on sharpness, rhythm, and tactical coordination as they aim to take a major step toward qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
Nigeria faces Gabon in a must-win fixture — and early arrivals in camp could give Chelle the perfect head start heading into this decisive international window.
