The Super Eagles camp officially opened today in Antalya, Turkey, as Nigeria begins preparations for the upcoming international window.
Coaches and team officials have already arrived in Istanbul and are expected to touch down in Antalya by noon to commence full activities.
Among the officials already on ground are head coach Eric Chelle, alongside Daniel Ogunmodede and Fidelis Ilechukwu.
The arrival of invited players is expected throughout the day, with the camp projected to be fully assembled before the close of business.
Nigeria is scheduled to face Iran and Jordan in two high-profile friendly matches during this window.
The fixture against Jordan was initially planned to take place in Jordan but had to be relocated to Turkey due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Head coach Eric Chelle has invited a 23-man squad for the friendlies, introducing three new faces into the national setup: Emmanuel Fernandez, Philip Otele, and Collins Yira Sor.
Their inclusion signals an opportunity for fresh talent to integrate into the squad as the team continues to evolve.
These matches will serve as an important platform for Chelle to further organize the team, implement tactical structures, and experiment with different playing approaches.

Both matches are expected to provide valuable insights into the team’s progress and readiness as they continue to build momentum on the international stage.
