The Super Eagles will open their qualifying campaign for the 2023 AFCON at home against Sierra Leone and a trip away to Sao Tome and Principe or Mauritius between May 30 and June 14.

In September, it will be a Group A double header against Guinea Bissau with the two matches to be played between September 19 and 27.

The final round of matches will then see the Eagles away in Sierra Leone and then up against Sao Tome or Mauritius at home.
