Eric Chelle Motivates Super Eagles for AFCON Qualifier
Eric Chelle, the head coach of the Super Eagles, has sent a motivational message to his players ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Madagascar. He emphasized the need for aggression and intensity as they aim to make a strong start in the qualifying campaign.
The match is set to take place at the Nest of Champions, the International Stadium in Uyo, on September 25, 2026, at 5 PM. Chelle concluded the team's final training session with 23 players present, although a goalkeeper had not yet reported to camp.
He described the current squad as the finest in Africa and urged the players to move past their disappointing 2026 FIFA World Cup experience and approach the qualifier with a winning mentality. Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme, the acting general secretary, echoed Chelle's sentiments, encouraging the team to secure maximum points to kick off the new qualifying campaign positively.
