The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is taking proactive measures for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers by preparing a Super Eagles player list, despite the absence of a permanent coach. This effort aims to ensure a smooth transition and adequate preparation for the team’s upcoming matches.
The NFF’s technical department, led by Austine Eguavoen, has started compiling a list of players for the national team. This list will be provided to the new coach upon their appointment, enabling a swift start.
While the technical department has previously prepared player lists based on performance, the current situation requires a more proactive stance due to the lack of a coach and the approaching qualifiers.
