The head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, on Friday released a list of 31 players ahead of next month’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria will host Rwanda before taking on South Africa in Bloemfontein on September 9.
Chelle called up regular names like Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface, Stanley Nwabali, Calvin Bassey and William Troost-Ekong.
The two fixtures will make or mar the Eagles’ chances of playing at the tournament taking place in the US, Mexico and Canada next year.
Nigeria are currently fourth in Group C with seven points, behind South Africa, Rwanda and Benin Republic.
