Ogunmodede said the head coach has carefully chosen the list, consulting with his backroom staff, saying they believe, each player is capable and qualified to represent Nigeria. Most are familiar faces,

though Gabriel Osho is a new addition due to Semi Ajayi’s recent surgery.

The Super Eagles will face the Cheetahs of Benin this Thursday as part of the ongoing 2025 AFCON qualifiers. They currently lead Group D with 10 points, following the three points awarded because of

Interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen has called 23 players for two key matches. The team will first take on Benin on November 14 at the Stade Félix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan, then host Rwanda on November 18 at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

Despite only needing one point to secure their spot in Morocco, Ogunmodede affirmed that the Super Eagles aim to secure all six points from the last two matches.

He said, they are treating each game like a final, aiming to win every match. The head coach has instilled a winning mentality across the team, adding that their top priority is qualification, followed by a full

commitment to winning every game.
