Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, technical director, Austin Eguavoen, 1has questioned Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle’s squad selection for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Morocco.
Eguavoen said he felt disappointed that four players from the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, were not included in Chelle’s AFCON squad.
Chelle’s 28-man AFCON squad was mostly made up of foreign-based players like Calvin Bassey, Victor Osimhen, Alex Iwobi, Ademola Lookman and Akor Adams.
“I felt disappointed that we didn’t include some NPFL players in the AFCON squad,” Eguavoen told Footy Africa.
“Some players in the team may not even get a minute of action, so why couldn’t we include a few players from the local league? At least three or four would’ve been better.”
