Nigeria’s Super Eagles coach Éric Chelle has named a 24-man squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Tanzania. Multiple outlets report that the match-up is a Tanzania series in Nigeria during the qualifiers.

Across the coverage, Chelle is described as making notable omissions from the squad. Information Nigeria and Premium Times both say Victor Osimhen, Maduka Okoye and Kelechi Iheanacho are left out, with Premium Times adding that Iheanacho is in-form. The Punch and Legit.ng focus on the overall squad announcement and name omissions in their own phrasing, while Information Nigeria also points readers to the squad list being released via Nigeria’s Super Eagles official X account.

The outlets broadly agree on the central elements: Chelle’s squad selection for the Tanzania qualifiers and the absence of the same key players mentioned above. Differences are mainly in how they headline the story—some emphasize the full list, others emphasize specific player omissions—and in the extra logistical detail included by one source.
