Aigbogun has opted to name Olawale Oremade as the starting goalkeeper for the second straight game, meaning Detan Ogundare and Jonathan Zaccala will watch on from the sidelines.

Enyimba's Valentine Ozornwafor and Emmanuel Amuneke Academy's Aliu Salawudeen will start in central defense, with captain Ikouwem Udo and Zulkifilu Rabiu taking the left and right back slot respectively.

Bournemouth's Nnamdi Ofoborh will not make his full competitive debut as he has been named on the bench.

The midfielders consist of Jamil Muhammad, Tom Dele-Bashiru, Kingsley Michael and Maxwell Effiom.

Norwegian-based Jerome Akor comes into the side to lead the line, and he'll be partnered upfront by the lively Henry Offia.

The United States vs Nigeria match will be staged at Bielsko-Biala Stadium, Bielsko-Biala, starting from 1930 hours.

Nigeria Starting XI: Oremade; Zulkifilu, Aliyu, Ozornwafor, Utin; Muhammad, Dele-Bashiru, Effiom, Michael; Akor, Offia
