As the wait for the final 25 man list of players called up to the senior national team of Nigeria for the 2025; AFCON qualifiers lingers, OwnGoalNigeria.com can reveal that there is a return for some players.
As we exclusively reported two weeks ago, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) via it’s technical department sent out provisional invitation to 35 players for the upcoming games against Benin Republic and Rwanda respectively in the month of September.
The list will be pruned down to 25 names who will be at the camp of the team in Uyo for the first game on the 7th of September and subsequently travel to Rwanda for the second game three days later.
Sources reveal to our editorial team that Orlando Pirates defender Olisa Ndah is back in the team as he was among the players, who received preliminary invitation for the game.
26 year old Ndah last played for the Super Eagles at the delayed 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon in 2022. Since then he hasn’t been included in any squad, we gathered his inclusion could come at the expense of Benjamin Tanimu who found favour in the eyes of erstwhile coach Finidi George.
