The Super Eagles camp in Uyo now has the full complement of the 23 players invited for the crucial World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and the Benin Republic.
The arrival of goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, the last player expected, was confirmed on Thursday morning through the Super Eagles’ official X page.
“Update: All 23 players are now in camp #soarsupereagles”, the short statement on the page read.
The planning for Friday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match between Nigeria and South Africa has endured challenging logistics, with many of the players finding it difficult to get to Uyo after landing in Nigeria from their various bases.
Italy-based Okoye was the only invited player not in camp for lunch on Wednesday but was already in Nigeria and booked for a flight out of the Federal Capital.
Majority of the match officials were also booked for flights out of the Federal Capital, with only referee assessor Ahmed Sayed Abou Elela from Egypt due to arrive in Nigeria on Thursday.
