Eric Chelle names 35-man provisional list for CHAN 2025
Head Coach of the Super Eagles B, Eric Chelle, has released a 35-man provisional squad for the 8th African Nations Championship (CHAN), set to be staged across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda next month.
The squad features top domestic league talent, including captain Junior Harrison Nduka, dynamic midfielder Papa Mustapha Daniel, and in-form striker Anas Yusuf. First-choice goalkeeper Henry Ozoemena Ani also gets the nod, alongside several promising names from the Nigeria Premier Football League.
Nigeria, runners-up in the 2018 edition, are drawn in Group D alongside reigning champions Senegal, Sudan, and Congo. The team will play their first two matches at the Amman Stadium on the island of Zanzibar, before moving to Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, Dar es Salaam, for the final group match.
All invited players are to report to camp at the Remo Stars Sports Institute, Ikenne-Remo, Ogun State, on Monday, July 7, with their international passports and valid club licenses.
