The Super Eagles have commenced their training preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying opener against Madagascar at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo. The team, which includes 23 players, has been training under the guidance of head coach Eric Chelle and his assistants. Players such as Moses Simon, Akor Adams, Taiwo Awoniyi, Isaac James, Moses Usor, and George Ilenikhena have arrived ahead of the training session.

The squad will be without Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen due to injury. The opening fixture against Madagascar marks the beginning of a new qualifying campaign under Chelle, with Nigeria facing Group L opponents Madagascar, Tanzania, and Guinea-Bissau.
