Interim coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Austine Eguavoen has handed out provisional letter of invitation to players who will be part of the Super Eagles squad for the final round of games in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nigeria need a point to be guaranteed top spot in the group with the decision by CAF to award them there points, three goals for the abandoned game against Libya sealing their spot at next year’s AFCON.
They will be away to Benin Republic at their adopted home ground in Cote d’Ivoire on the 14th of November, before rounding up the series with a home game against Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo on the 18th.
Staging a return to the team is the captain of the team Ahmed Musa who is back at his first club in his career Kano Pillars and hit the ground running with four goals already to his name in just five games.
His return to the team was why he wasn’t named in the CHAN team for the qualifiers, even though he qualifies to play for the team as a player playing in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
We can exclusively report as well that Victor Osimhen is also staging a return to the team after missing the last game , which was the 1-0 win over Libya and the subsequent game which was abandoned due to injury.
