There are speculations that the Super Eagles would be made up mostly byhome-based players to give the local players an opportunity to show what they can do and at the same time save the NFF the cost of ferrying about 24 players to the country for the match.

The three-time African champions booked their spot in the 2024 AFCON with a 3-2 defeat of Sierra Leone in their last game of the qualifying series.

Super Eagles Media Officer, Femi Raji, he said, that the list of players for the match would be out soon. Nigeria is in Group A of the qualifying series with Guinea Bissau, Sierra Leone and Sao Tome and Principe.
