The Super Eagles have begun preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with the opening of their training camp in Cairo, Egypt.
The camp, located at the Renaissance Hotels, marks the start of an intensive build-up to the continental tournament. Members of the coaching crew and backroom staff are already in camp, with administrative, technical and logistical arrangements put in place ahead of the full squad’s arrival.
Goalkeeper Francis Uzoho was the first player to report, arriving in the early hours of Sunday at about 2:00 a.m. local time. His early arrival set the pace for discipline and commitment within the camp.

Stanley Nwabali followed shortly after, becoming the second player to check in. The early presence of both goalkeepers allows the technical crew to begin work promptly in a key department ahead of the competition.
Midfielders Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Ebenezer Akinsanmiro have also joined the camp, increasing the number of players available as preparations gather momentum.
Six other players — Igoh Ogbu, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Tochukwu Nnadi, Amas Obasogie, Ademola Lookman and Semi Ajayi — were expected to arrive last night as the Super Eagles continue to assemble for AFCON 2025.
