The Super Eagles have completed the assembly of their 24-man squad in camp as they finalise preparations for Friday\u2019s crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying clash against Tanzania.\n<\/p>\n
The team confirmed all expected players are now gathered in a post on its X handle on Wednesday.\n<\/p>\n
The squad comprises: Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, Alex Iwobi, Arthur Okonkwo, Semi Ajayi, Benjamin Fredericks, Alhassan Yusuf, Bright Osayi-Samuel, and Wilfred Ndidi.\n<\/p>\n

Nigeria will host Tanzania in the Group L matchday-three fixture at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday, with kick-off scheduled for 5pm Nigerian time.<\/p>\n
The three-time African champions sit second in the group with three points after a 2-1 home win over Madagascar and a 3-0 away defeat to Guinea-Bissau. <\/p>\n
Guinea-Bissau lead the standings with six points from two wins, while Tanzania occupy third place with one point, level with Madagascar but ahead on goal difference.<\/p>\n
Tanzania have already secured qualification for the 2027 tournament as co-hosts alongside Kenya and Uganda.\n<\/p>\n
This leaves Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar competing for the group\u2019s remaining ticket.\n<\/p>\n
A victory on Friday would take the Super Eagles to six points and strengthen their position as they look to close the gap on the leaders.\n<\/p>\n
The sides meet again in the reverse fixture in Tanzania on Tuesday, November 17.\n<\/p>\n
The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled to take place in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from June 19 to July 17, 2027.\n<\/p>\n
