Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has released his final 28-man squad for the 35th Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) scheduled to take place in Morocco.
The coach had earlier unveiled a 54-man provisional list before trimming it down to meet CAF’s final squad requirement.
Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali made the cut despite earlier concerns over hand and ankle injuries. He is joined by Francis Uzoho and Amas Obasogie.
Nigeria’s attack features Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Samuel Chukwueze, and Moses Simon. Paul Onuachu and Cyriel Dessers return to the squad, while Sevilla duo Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke are also included.
