The Super Eagles of Nigeria held their first training session today ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
The session was conducted by interim coach Austin Eguavoen and his assistant coaches for the two matches, Enugu Rangers’ Fidelis Ilechukwu and Remo Stars’ Daniel Ogunmodede at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium training pitch.
A total of twenty players took part in the training session including captain, William Troost-Ekong, Victor Boniface, Alex Iwobi, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru among sixteen others.
Only three players: Victor Osimhen, Kelechi Iheanacho and Maduka Okoye are still being expected to resume camp.
Training and preparation for the two matches will continue in the days ahead as the Super Eagles look to start the qualifiers on a very good note.
The Super Eagles will take on the Cheetars of Benin Republic on Saturday, September 7 before taking on The Amavubis three days later in Kigali.
