 Chelle recalls Okoye, Ejuke, for World Cup playoffs


Coach Eric Chelle has recalled goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, Sevilla winger Chidera Ejuke, and Chidozie Awaziem, while suspended Semi Ajayi is also listed for next week’s CAF 2026 World Cup Playoffs in Morocco.

Ajayi will miss the Gabon clash after he picked up his second booking in the qualifiers against Benin, but he will be eligible for the next stage of the Playoffs should Nigeria advance.

Otherwise, this is about the same squad that beat both Lesotho and Benin last month to advance to the Playoffs.

The list includes team captain William Troost-Ekong, star striker Victor Osimhen, goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, and defenders Bright Osayi-Samuel and Calvin Bassey.

Veteran midfielder Alex Iwobi, alongside Benjamin Fredericks, Frank Onyeka, Wilfred Ndidi, Samuel Chukwueze, and Ademola Lookman, were also named in the squad. Raphael Onyedika, Tolu Arokodare, Jerome Akor Adams, and Olakunle Olusegun also made the cut.

The players are expected to arrive in Morocco from their various clubs in Europe and beyond, converging in Rabat on Monday, November 10.

Nigeria will face Gabon in the first semi-final at the 22,000-capacity Complexe Sportif Prince Héritier Moulay El Hassan in Rabat next on Thursday.
