Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has selected 24 players for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifying double-header against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania.

Captain of the team Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, Ademola Lookman, and Moses Simon are some of the regular stars summoned by Chelle for both games.

The Malian also handed invitations to goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, Ola Aina, Taiwo Awoniyi and Akor Adams.

Tochukwu Nnadi, Alhassan Yusuf, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Francis Uzoho have been recalled to the team.

Slavia Prague midfielder Mubarak Suleiman was handed his maiden invitation to the Super Eagles.

The Super Eagles will host Tanzania in a matchday three encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Friday, 13 November.

Nigeria and Tanzania will do battle again in a matchday four encounter four days later in Dar es Salaam.
