Super Eagles Arrive in Uyo for Tanzania Matches

The Super Eagles have commenced their arrivals in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, in preparation for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Tanzania. Notable early arrivals include defenders Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, and Semi Ajayi, midfielders Alex Iwobi and Alhassan Yusuf, and forwards Moses Simon and Benjamin Fredrick.

Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo and other invited players are expected to join the squad as head coach Éric Chelle organizes the team for the matches. The first training session is set for 7pm on Tuesday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, following adjustments due to flight delays.

The Super Eagles, who have had an inconsistent start to their qualifying campaign, need maximum points from these fixtures. They currently have three points from two matches, following a victory over Madagascar and a defeat to Guinea-Bissau.

The first leg against Tanzania will take place on November 13 in Uyo, with the return match scheduled for November 17 in Zanzibar.
