The Super Eagles of Nigeria have confirmed and announced a star-studded squad for the 2024 November international break.
Ahead of the highly anticipated November 2024 international break, the Super Eagles of Nigeria have confirmed arguably one of the strongest squads yet since AFCON 2024 for fixtures against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
Nigeria’s senior national team coach, Austine Eguavoen, has brought back Sadig Umar from Real Sociedad and Gabriel Osho from Auxerre for the upcoming matches.
The Super Eagles require only a single point to secure qualification for next year’s AFCON after CAF awarded them three points from the abandoned fixture against Libya.
Additionally, Nasarawa United’s Victor Collins has received his first call-up and will compete with Bruno Onemaechi for the left-back position. Osho steps in for the injured Semi Ajayi, while Sadiq fills the spot left by Taiwo Awoniyi, who was left out of the squad.
