The Super Eagles began camp this week as preparations intensify for an upcoming qualifying fixture, with the technical crew naming a provisional squad that blends experienced internationals with emerging talent from the domestic league.

The head coach told reporters that fitness and cohesion would be the focus of the short camp, given the tight turnaround before matchday.

“Every player invited has a role to play. We are building a squad that can compete at the highest level,” he said.

Fans have expressed cautious optimism on social media, with many calling for consistency in team selection after a mixed run of results in recent months. Ticket sales for the home fixture opened Thursday.
