Super Eagles: Your Go‑to Hub for Nigeria Football News
If you love Nigerian soccer, you’re in the right place. The Super Eagles are back in action, and we’ve gathered everything you need to follow them – from match scores to squad rumors.
Recent Matches and What They Mean
The Eagles just wrapped up a friendly against Ghana, edging out a 2‑1 win thanks to a late strike from Victor Osimhen. That goal not only secured three points but also showed the striker’s hunger ahead of the upcoming AFCON qualifiers.
Earlier in the month, Nigeria faced Cameroon in a tense qualifier that ended 0‑0. The clean sheet highlighted goalkeeper Francis Uzoho’s confidence, and the defensive line looked tighter after coach José Peseiro introduced young center‑back Samuel Chukwueze into the starting XI.
Squad News: Who’s In, Who’s Out?
Transfers are shaking up the roster. After a solid season with Al Ahly, midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is expected to return full‑time for the next Nations Cup run. On the flip side, veteran forward Kelechi Iheanacho announced a move back to Europe, opening a spot for emerging talent Moses Simon.
Injury updates matter too. Midfielder Alex Iwobi missed last week’s training with a hamstring strain, but doctors say he’ll be ready before the next match against South Africa. Keep an eye on his recovery – his creativity is key to breaking down stubborn defenses.
Upcoming Fixtures You Can’t Miss
The calendar is packed. The Eagles face South Africa at Lagos National Stadium on September 12. Ticket sales start Monday, and early birds get a discount. If you’re planning to watch from home, the game will stream live on SuperSport and be replayed on NTA later that night.
Afterward, Nigeria travels to Nairobi for an AFCON qualifier against Kenya. That away fixture tests the team’s ability to adapt to high altitude – a factor the coaching staff is already working on in training camps.
