The Super Eagles’ camp in Uyo has received a further boost with the arrival of Frank Onyeka and Wilfred Ndidi, as the team continues preparations for their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda (September 6) and South Africa (September 9).
Onyeka Touches Down in Style
Midfielder Frank Onyeka arrived camp looking relaxed and confident, flashing a thumbs-up to the cameras. The energetic midfielder, who plies his trade with Brentford in the English Premier League, has been enjoying a solid run of form this season, offering his club defensive steel and box-to-box drive. His presence adds bite and tenacity to the Nigerian midfield as coach Eric Chelle sharpens tactics ahead of the double-header.
Ndidi Brings Leadership and Experience
Fresh from completing a summer move to Besiktas in Turkey, midfield enforcer Wilfred Ndidi has checked into the Super Eagles camp in Uyo. The former Leicester City star has quickly settled into life in the Turkish Super Lig, bringing his trademark composure, ball-winning ability, and tactical discipline to his new club. His leadership and experience will be vital assets for Nigeria as they look to revive their World Cup qualification campaign against Rwanda and South Africa.
Camp Gathers Full Strength
Onyeka and Ndidi join the growing list of Super Eagles stars already in camp, including William Troost Ekong, Bruno Onyemaechi, Felix Agu, Benjamin Fredericks, Alex Iwobi, Moses Simon, Ola Aina, Calvin Bassey, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Chidozie Awaziem, and goalkeeper Adebayo Adeleye. With more players expected to arrive in the coming hours, the squad is quickly nearing full strength.
