Squad list don finally drop

NIGERIA SQUAD FOR 35TH AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS MOROCCO 2025

Goalkeepers: Stanley Nwabali (Chippa United, South Africa); Amas Obasogie (Singida Blackstars, Tanzania); Francis Uzoho (Omonia FC, Cyprus)

Defenders: Calvin Bassey (Fulham FC, England); Oluwasemilogo Ajayi (Hull City, England); Bright Osayi-Samuel (Birmingham City, England); Bruno Onyemaechi (Olympiakos, Greece); Chidozie Awaziem (Nantes FC, France); Zaidu Sanusi (FC Porto, Portugal); Igoh Ogbu (Slavia Prague, Czech Republic); Ryan Alebiosu (Blackburn Rovers, England)

Midfielders: Alex Iwobi (Fulham FC, England); Frank Onyeka (Brentford FC, England); Wilfred Ndidi (Besiktas FC, Turkey); Raphael Onyedika (Club Brugge, Belgium); Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (SS Lazio, Italy); Ebenezer Akinsanmiro (Pisa SC, Italy); Usman Muhammed (Ironi Tiberias, Israel); Tochukwu Nnadi (SV Zulte Waregem, Belgium)

Forwards: Ademola Lookman (Atalanta BC, Italy); Samuel Chukwueze (Fulham FC, England); Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray FC, Turkey); Simon Moses (Paris FC, France); Chidera Ejuke (Sevilla FC, Spain); Akor Adams (Sevilla FC, Spain); Paul Onuachu (Trabzonspor AS, Turkey); Salim Fago Lawal (NK Istra 1961, Croatia); Cyriel Dessers (Panathinaikos FC, Greece);

Major question marks would be:

How the Usman Muhammed make the final squad?

How did Salim Fago make the final squad over Rafiu Durosinmi?

Why was Maduka Okoye actually droppedhuh

How is Cyriel Dessers in the final squad?.
Gusau hand is written over this final list as he fills those spots with his kinsmen.Ofcourse Chelle's list has been altered as usual to make way for the Quota system

Awaziem is playing at a top level in a good league, and he has significantly gotten better...Uzoho is the issue here.

Good luck to them.

Granted, the best we have struggle to get results. How does this excuse the return of people like Uzoho who is clearly and obviously ten times worse than Okoye?

You do realize that as it stands, if anything should happen to Nwabali at the tournament, we're going home immediately? I expect him to be heavily targeted by opposing teams.

From what I have read so far …it was okoye dt excused himself if he can’t be guaranteed a starting spot

Who did Alhassan offend that his spot was given to Usman?

i DOUBT IT. WITH NWABALLI INJURY, HE IS ALMOST GUARANTEED A STARTING SPOT.
ALSO I HOPE TALES OF UZOHO BEING BACK IN FORM IS TRUE.
ADEBAYO ADELEYE SHOULD HAVE BEING IN PLACE OF UZOHO EVEN IF MADUKA OKOYE IS NOT INVITED
HE WAS THE BEST GOALKEPPER IN CYPRUS LAST YEAR AND THIS EARNED HIM A MOVE TO GREECE.
THE THING I HEAR ABOUT UZOHO IS THAT HE IS BACK IN FORM BUT I AM NOT SURE. IT IS EVEN BETTER FOR HIM
TO JUST USE THIS SEASON TO GET BACK IN FORM.
IT IS SHEER MADNESS TO COMPROMISE YOUR GOAL KEEPING POSITION. YOU CAN PLAY VERY WELL AND BE LET DOWN BY A BAD GOALKEEPER.
IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT POSITION.
AMOS OBASOGIE SHOULD PLAY THAT MATCH AGAINST EGYPT SO WE CAN SEE WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER.
NFF IS FULL OF CLOWNS.
MAYBE.....UZOHO IS BACK IN FORM BUT IT IS DOUBTFUL

Our defense used to be the most solid part of our structure. Now it's looking like the weakest, even though the midfield and attack haven't necessarily improved.

I'm doubtful if this squad will even make it past the quarter finals.

How do we rebuild with a 31 year old new invitee playing in the Israeli league? Chelle picks his 23-man squad first, and the NFF adds the remaining five since they are the ones sponsoring the extra. That is what just happened.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Diavolo: 4:39am On Dec 12, 2025
I think the list is okay. No point inviting players Chelle won't use like uche. It's clear Chelle picked his 23 man list that's going to be sponsored by caf while the 5 extra were handpicked by NFf for their own selfish interest. Players like usman and Fargo will just be used as training cones just like the way papa Mohamed was pushed until he got a move abroad. We should be fine with Chelle 23 man list

Irrespective of the squad list let’s rally behind the boys ahead of the Afcon Cup finals. If they can make it to the semifinals that will be a boost considering the players on board

Maduka asked for first choice and playing guarantee which wasn't given so he asked to be excused. Would Maduka have pulled this stunt if we had qualified for the World cup? I don't think so!

The team should always come before individual, and at this point Maduka should be axed from the National team and never invited again.

Still, Eric Chelle made a big mistake selecting Francis Uzoho. A Dele Adeleye or even an Ebenezer Harcourt would have been better for the experience and futuristic purpose.

Eric Chelle doesn't realize how terrible Uzoho is. Uzoho cannot even play goal kicks. His goal kicks don't go far at all. Na defender dey play goal kick for am. He is also very clumsy with his feet. His ball playing ability and distribution is very poor too. Anytime, he is given a back pass our hearts will be in our mouths.

Reflexes nko? Na just average. He will not make any save he is not supposed to make, and he will still concede goals he should ordinarily be saving. Goal keeping sense and anticipation, na Zero. He is not dominant in the air and even gets bullied aerially. What a waste of height, and space in the squad.

If Eric Chelle selected 23 players, and the NFF added 5 to make it 28, wasn't Francis. Uzoho in the 23 players selected by Eric Chelle?

Now, I am going into this AFCON with an additional prayer point that Nwabali should be fit to play all the games and Amas Obasogie is the designated backup/2nd choice goalie.

Eric Chelle really fumbled with the choice of Uzoho.
