The objective of the Super Eagles remains to revive their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign after a poor start that saw them draw three matches and lose one in their first four games, leaving them four points behind group leaders Rwanda, Benin, and South Africa.
In a bid to turnaround their fortunes, the team will need to secure consecutive victories when they face off against Rwanda on March 21 before hosting Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo on March 25.
Assuming all travel arrangements go smoothly, the Super Eagles camp is expected to be at full strength by Monday. This will mark the first time new coach Eric Chelle will have the opportunity to train with his full squad and begin preparing them for the crucial World Cup qualifiers ahead.
