Chelle Unveils Final Squad for Eagles’ Revival
Super Eagles Coach Eric Chelle Set to Announce Final Squad for World Cup Qualifiers.
Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles, are gearing up for their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe later this month. Head coach Eric Chelle is expected to announce his final 23-man squad this week, ahead of the team’s resumed camp in Kigr.
Chelle’s appointment as the Super Eagles’ coach comes at a critical time for Nigerian football, with the team’s World Cup qualification hopes hanging in the balance. The team has had a disappointing start to their campaign, with only three points from four matches.
The provisional squad released last week features a mix of experienced players and young talents, including veteran captain Ahmed Musa, who has made a welcome return to the team. Other notable inclusions are Alex Iwobi, Victor Boniface, and Victor Osimiah, who are expected to play key roles in the upcoming fixtures.
The Super Eagles face a daunting task in their next two matches, with Rwanda currently leading Group C and the team needing nothing less than six points to keep their qualification hopes alive. All eyes will be on Chelle’s final squad selection, which will provide insight into his tactical approach and management style.
Will the Super Eagles be able to turn their campaign around and qualify for the 2026 World Cup? The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining their fate.
