In preparation for their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Zimbabwe, Nigeria’s Super Eagles are intensifying their training sessions in Uyo. Head coach Eric Chelle has mandated a closed-door practice on Sunday night to ensure maximum focus and minimize distractions. According to team media officer Promise Efoghe, Chelle has imposed strict restrictions around the team’s camp, barring visitors and journalists to maintain concentration ahead of Tuesday’s crucial encounter.
The Super Eagles, who arrived in Uyo on Saturday after a 2-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali, are determined to build on this momentum. While Sunday’s training is closed to the media and fans, Monday’s session will be partially open, allowing media access for the mandatory 15 minutes as per FIFA regulations. This structured approach reflects the team’s commitment to securing a positive result against Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Tuesday.
