If you love Nigerian football, you’ve probably heard the buzz about the Super Eagles lately. From squad changes to upcoming qualifiers, there’s a lot happening right now. This guide breaks down the most useful info in plain language so you can stay on top of every development.
The latest call‑up features familiar faces and a few fresh names. Goalkeeper Francis Uzoho returns after a solid season abroad, while veteran defender William Kanu anchors the back line. In midfield, Wilfred Ndidi provides steel and stamina, and if you’re looking for creativity, Samuel Chukwueze is the go‑to winger.
Up‑front, Victor Osimhen leads the attack. His form in Serie A has been impressive, and he’s expected to spearhead the Eagles’ goal‑scoring chances. Keep an eye on newcomers like Mohammed Ahmad from the domestic league – they could become surprise stars.
The Super Eagles have three important games in the next month. First up is a home qualifier against Ghana on 12 September, followed by an away clash with Cameroon on 26 September, and finally a friendly versus Brazil on 10 October.
All matches will be streamed live on SuperSport in South Africa and via DStv’s GO platform. If you’re outside the region, check the official CAF YouTube channel for free highlights after each game.

Coach Jose Pereira prefers a 4‑3‑3 formation, giving him flexibility to switch to a 4‑2‑3‑1 when defending deep. The full‑backs push high up the wing, allowing wingers like Chukwueze to cut inside and create space for overlapping runs.
Defensively, Ndidi drops back as a shield for the center backs, breaking up opposition attacks early. When Osimhen gets the ball in the box, he looks for quick one‑twos with Kanu or late runs from midfielders.
Fans can join the official Super Eagles fan club online – membership gives you access to exclusive polls, early ticket sales and behind‑the‑scenes videos. If you’re in Nigeria, local bars often host match viewings; just ask for a “Eagles night” schedule.
