Super  Eagles Interim coach,  Austin Eguavoen  is expected to release the list of players  expected to prosecute  the remaining   two 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)  qualifiers  against  Benin  and Rwanda  today  all things being equal. 

Nigeria sit on top of Group D with  10 points  and will  first tackle  neighbouring  Benin  in Abidjan  on November 14  and will  complete their qualifying campaign  against Rwanda  in Uyo on November 18.

With the game against  Benin holding at the  Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium , the Super Eagles  must  be at their best  to avoid  defeat  from  the scene of their 2023  AFCON Final  loss to Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire  as well as  the World Cup 26 qualifier loss to The Cheetahs  last June.

“The Super Eagles  will camp  in Abidjan for the match against Benin,”  an official privy to the arrangements  told NationSports.“ The  list for the match is likely to be out on Tuesday.”

Our correspondent  further gathered that  a chartered  flight  would pick  up the Super Eagles in Abidjan on the morning of  November 15  ‘and fly them to Uyo’  for the home game against  the Wasps of Rwanda.

Benin being coached by former Super eagles trainer, Gernot Rohr, are  in second position behind Nigeria with six points  while Rwanda are third  with five points Libya  are fourth on the log with  a solitary point.

The North African side were recently  sanctioned  and duck  three points  following the maltreatment of the Super Eagles  in that botched Match Day Four encounter.
