Super Eagles caretaker coach, Augustine Eguavoen will lead the backroom staff of the team to Abidjan on Sunday (today) for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic.

The former defender is now back in the country to take up the latest assignment.
Nasarawa United defender Victor Collins, who is the only local-based player in the 23-man squad will be part of the travelling contingent.
All the foreign-based players will fly directly to Abidjan for the game.
The Cheetahs will entertain Nigeria at the Felix Houphet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan on Thursday.
