As Nigeria intensifies preparations for Friday’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying clash against Lesotho, the likes of Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, 15 others have arrived in Polokwane, South Africa.
The three-time African champions will face Lesotho on Friday in Polokwane in what is expected to be a decisive, must-win encounter.
It was gathered that players stormed the camp on Tuesday, a day after the technical crew and backroom staff arrived to officially open the team’s base.
Among those already in camp are William Troost-Ekong, Wilfred Ndidi, Bruno Onyemaechi, Terem Moffi, Moses Simon, Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze, Frank Onyeka, and Tolu Arokodare.
Also present are returnee defender Semi Ajayi and goalkeepers Stanley Nwabali, Adebayo Adeleye, and Amas Obasogie, who have all linked up with the coaching staff ahead of full team training sessions.
Nigeria currently third on the log in Group C of the CAF World Cup qualifying series with 11 points from eight matches. The Super Eagles must win their remaining two fixtures and hope for favourable results from South Africa and Benin Republic to keep their qualification hopes alive.
