Captain Troost-Ekong leads early arrivals as a squad juggling national duty and club moves faces must-win matches against Rwanda and South Africa.
The Nigerian national team camp has officially opened in Uyo, with captain William Troost-Ekong among the first players to report for a critical World Cup qualifying window. The Al Kholood defender was joined by goalkeeper Amas Obasogie and full-back Bruno Onyemaechi, setting the stage for the full 23-man squad’s arrival ahead of two decisive fixtures.
The mood at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium base is one of focused urgency, tempered by the realities of the modern transfer window. The camp’s composition is directly affected by last-minute club dealings, with several key players expected to arrive late. AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze is finalizing a move to Fulham, while Genk striker Tolu Arokodare is close to joining Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The stakes could not be higher for the Super Eagles. Currently sitting a disappointing fourth in their qualifying group with just seven points, the team trails leaders South Africa by six. With only four matches remaining, every point is precious. The journey begins on September 6th against Rwanda, a team they narrowly defeated 2-0 in March thanks to a Victor Osimhen brace.
All eyes will be on the return of star striker Osimhen, whose presence is seen as vital for a team under immense pressure to avoid a second consecutive World Cup qualification failure. After the home game, the squad will immediately travel to face group leaders South Africa in a high-stakes clash in Bloemfontein on September 8th.
The camp is a blend of hope and determination, as the team seeks to banish the lingering ghosts of their painful playoff loss to Ghana that cost them a place in the 2022 World Cup. For the players and a nation of passionate fans, the path to the 2026 tournament in North America begins now.
