Ahead of their clash with the Les Panthères of Gabon, the Super Eagles are already gearing up with 10 players in the camp at Rabat, Morocco for the playoff for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The playoff round provides African teams with an additional route to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The winner of this series must still overcome opponents from other continents in a final intercontinental playoff scheduled for March 2026 in Mexico.

The first batch of players and team officials arrived at the Rive Hotel, Rabat, on Sunday afternoon, signaling the start of what could be a decisive week in Nigeria’s campaign to return to the world’s biggest football stage.

This was revealed by the Super Eagles’ media officer Promise Efoghe.

According to Efoghe the arrivals of Benjamin Fredericks and Chidozie Awaziem took the number of players to double figures.

Other players who have already arrived are Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze, Tolu Arokodare, Olakunle Olusegun, Wilfred Ndidi, Moses Simon
William Troost-Ekong, Benjamin Fredericks and Chidozie Awaziem

Meanwhile 11 more players are expected to land Rabat today (Monday) for the playoffs.

The Super Eagles will face Gabon in Thursday’s semi-finals and a win for Eric Chelle’s men will see them take on either Cameroon or Democratic Republic of Congo in the final on Sunday, November 16.

An emphatic 4-0 win against Benin Republic in their final Group C fixture helped the Nigerian team finish as one of the best third-placed sides.
