Wilfred Ndidi Joins Eagles for Tanzania Qualifier Training

The Nigeria national football team, known as the Eagles, held their second training session in Uyo as they prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania's Taifa Stars. Coach Eric Chelle's squad was completed with the arrival of captain Wilfred Ndidi, who was delayed in Turkey due to canceled flights.

His presence created a buzz among the players during the evening training at the Godswill Akpabo International Stadium. Team Media Officer Promise Efoghe confirmed that all invited players are now in camp and are eager to secure three points in the upcoming match.

The Eagles will conduct their first official training on the main pitch of the Nest of Champions later that evening, followed by a session for the visiting team. The training camp includes notable players such as Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, Alex Iwobi, and many others, totaling 24 players in preparation for the match against Tanzania.
