Super Eagles Land in London Ahead of Unity Cup Showdown with Ghana
The buzz is building in London as 20 Super Eagles players have touched down ahead of this week’s highly anticipated Unity Cup opener—where they’ll square off against their long-standing rivals, the Black Stars of Ghana.
Leading the charge is team captain Ahmed Musa, joined by key names like Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi, Moses Simon, Frank Onyeka, Semi Ajayi, and Cyriel Dessers. The squad is a mix of battle-tested internationals and fresh homegrown talents eager to prove their worth on the big stage.
Among the rising stars joining the camp are Ifeanyi Oyebuchi, Papa Mustapha, Nduka Junior, Sadiq Ismaila, Waliu Ojetoye, Collins Ugwueze, Saviour Isaac, Sikiru Alimi, and Abubakar Adamu—all hoping to make their mark under the watchful eye of head coach Eric Chelle.
The team arrived on Monday and quickly got down to business, settling into their camp as preparations ramp up for their opening match on Wednesday. The action takes place at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, promising a night of high-energy football and fierce continental pride.
This year’s Unity Cup brings together four dynamic teams: Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz, and Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca Warriors. It’s more than just a friendly tournament—it’s a proving ground for strategy, team chemistry, and raw talent.
Additional players, including goalkeepers Stanley Nwabali, Maduka Okoye, and Amas Obasogie, along with Chrisantus Uche, Samuel Chukwueze, and striker Tolu Arokodare, are expected to link up with the team later today.
All eyes will be on Nigeria as they aim to send a strong message not just to Ghana, but to future opponents as they fine-tune their squad for bigger international challenges ahead.
