Super Eagles camp update: Felix Agu, Ndidi, Dessers, Onyeka among 20 players in camp pre-Ghana

Preparations are in full swing for the Super Eagles ahead of their opening match against Ghana at the 2025 Unity Cup, as 20 players have already arrived at the team’s camp in London.

Among the early arrivals are key Europe-based stars Wilfred Ndidi, Frank Onyeka, Cyriel Dessers, Felix Agu, Kelechi Iheanacho, Moses Simon, Nathan Tella, and Semi Ajayi. 

They are joined by Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) veteran Ahmed Musa and defender Igho Ogbu, as head coach Eric Chelle ramps up preparations for the high-stakes clash at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford.

The home-based contingent includes Junior Nduka, Sodiq Ismaila, Waliu Ojetoye, Ifeanyi Onyebuchi, Papa Mustapha, Saviour Isaac, Collins Ugwueze, Sikiru Alimi, and Abubakar Adamu. 

Their early arrival is seen as crucial to building chemistry within the squad, which blends experienced internationals with rising NPFL talents.

The remaining players expected in camp include goalkeepers Stanley Nwabali, Maduka Okoye,and Amas Obasogie, as well as defenders Chrisantus Uche and Bruno Onyemaechi. 

Winger Samuel Chukwueze and forward Tolu Arokodare are also due to join the team in the coming hours.

The Unity Cup, scheduled to take place from May 27 to 31, features Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago in a tournament designed to promote football and cultural unity among African and Caribbean nations. 

Nigeria's first match is set against long-time rivals Ghana on Wednesday, May 28—a fixture that promises intensity and national pride.

With 20 players already in London, the Super Eagles camp is gathering momentum as Chelle aims to fine-tune tactics and cohesion. 

The tournament not only offers a platform for home-based players to stake a claim for future international selection but also serves as a preparatory ground for Nigeria’s upcoming competitive fixtures.
