The head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Eric Chelle, has called up eight new players into his squad for the 2025 Unity Cup in England.
The tournament which is returning after nearly two decades kicks off on May 27 with a Caribbean clash between Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago.
The following day, all eyes will be on the Gtech Community Stadium as Nigeria face off against arch-rivals Ghana in a highly anticipated West African derby.
The winners of both matches will square off in the final on May 31.
Eric Chelle’s squad for the tournament marks a significant shift, with star forwards Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen notably absent.
In their place, the coach has opted for new attacking options and emerging talents from both domestic and European clubs
The eight players receiving their first senior call-ups are Ifeanyi Onyebuchi (Enugu Rangers), Junior Nduka (Remo Stars), Ojetoye Waliu (Ikorodu City FC), Christantus Uche (Getafe FC), Savior Isaac (Enugu Rangers), Collins Chinemerem (Enugu Rangers), Sakiru Alimi (Remo Stars), and Adamu Abubakar (Wikki Tourists).
All eight new players must impress Coach Eric Chelle to keep their places in the Nigeria Super Eagles squad.
