Super Eagles Rebuilding for AFCON 2027

Eric Chelle’s side, which narrowly missed out on qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has now shifted its focus toward the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The coaching staff aims to utilise these fixtures as vital building blocks for the three-time African champions.

Currently, Nigeria remain unbeaten during their stay in Turkey. They secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Iran before playing to a 2-2 draw with Jordan on Tuesday.
