The Super Eagles of Nigeria held their first training session in London on Monday ahead of their highly anticipated clash with West African rivals Ghana in the 2025 Unity Cup.
The encounter, scheduled for Wednesday, May 28, at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, marks the beginning of a two-match campaign for the Nigerian side in the invitational tournament.
Twenty-two of the 26 players invited for the Unity Cup have already reported to camp at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Ealing, with preparations in full swing under the watchful eyes of the coaching crew led by Eric Chelle.
The team is expected to be at full strength by Tuesday, as final tactical drills are completed.
While the Unity Cup is classified as a friendly tournament, matches between Nigeria and Ghana are rarely anything but intense.
The historic rivalry between the two footballing powerhouses of West Africa ensures a fiercely competitive atmosphere whenever they meet — and this fixture promises no less.
The outcome of Wednesday’s game will determine who advances to the final on Saturday, May 31, also at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Nigeria’s second match will be against either Jamaica or Trinidad & Tobago, who face each other on Tuesday, May 27.
