Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle names separate squads for Nigeria’s upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau, along with a later international friendly against Russia. The Nigeria Football Federation publishes the squad lists as preparations begin for the scheduled matches.

According to the reports, Nigeria’s qualifiers are set for September 25 against Madagascar and September 29 against Guinea-Bissau. The outlets also agree that the Russia friendly follows the qualification fixtures, serving as an additional game for the team ahead of subsequent commitments.

While the two sources cover the same announcements, they focus on slightly different framing—one emphasizes the coach’s naming of the squads, while the other highlights the federation’s release of the lists and the sequence of opponents. Both present the announcements as official steps in the Super Eagles’ match preparation for the AFCON qualifying campaign and the scheduled friendly.
