The Super Eagles have opened camp in Cairo, Egypt, as preparations intensify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The team’s media officer, Promise Efoghe, confirmed that the players and officials are lodged at the Renaissance Hotels in Cairo.

Head coach Eric Chelle has taken charge of the camp following the arrival of his assistants and backroom staff, marking the full activation of the technical crew. Goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has also joined the squad, strengthening the team’s ranks ahead of the international fixture.

The Omonia Nicosia shot-stopper arrived at the Eagles’ camp in the early hours of Sunday, touching down at about 2:00 a.m.

The Super Eagles will face the Pharaohs of Egypt in an international friendly on Tuesday at the Cairo International Stadium, a match expected to provide a key test as Nigeria fine-tunes its squad for the continental showpiece.
