Super Eagles Train for AFCON 2027 Qualifier Against Madagascar
The Super Eagles of Nigeria conducted their first training session in preparation for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Madagascar, scheduled for Friday, September 25. The session took place at the International Stadium in Uyo, with 23 players present, including captain Wilfred Ndidi and winger Samuel Chukwueze, who were the latest to join the camp.
Head coach Eric Chelle has gathered his squad for the Group L opener, but Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is the only player yet to arrive. Okoye is one of three goalkeeping options alongside Nwabali and Okonkwo for the qualifying campaign.
His late arrival could allow Nwabali, who missed the June break, to reclaim his position as the starting goalkeeper. Following the match against Madagascar, the Super Eagles will travel to Guinea-Bissau for their second Group L fixture on September 29.
