Nigeria football fans eager to know the 28-man Super Eagles squad for the African Nations Cup in Morocco will have to wait until Thursday, December 11, 2025.
This is according to the Director of Communication, Dr Ademola Olajire when contacted on the matter.
Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle had earlier announced a 54-man preliminary squad for the 2025 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations, signaling fierce competition for places as the Super Eagles prepare for this month’s tournament in Morocco.
The Franco-Malian manager had opted for depth across every position, inviting established internationals, long-term absentees and a wave of newcomers as he assesses his final options.
Under CAF regulations, Chelle must reduce the group to a maximum of 28 players before the tournament begins on December 21.
