The Super Eagles of Nigeria are gearing up for their upcoming match against the Warriors of Zimbabwe in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Head coach Eric Chelle has implemented strict training restrictions in preparation for the crucial Group C clash.
The team will engage in private training on Sunday to focus on their tactics and strategies for the match. However, Monday’s training session will be open to the media for fifteen minutes following a press conference.
Coach Chelle is emphasizing the importance of the players giving their best effort ahead of Tuesday’s showdown with Zimbabwe. To maintain focus and concentration, no visitors or journalists are allowed in and around the team’s camp at the Four Point Hotel in Ikot Ikenne.
Both the Super Eagles and the Zimbabwean delegation arrived at Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Saturday. The Warriors of Zimbabwe are still in search of their first victory in the qualifying campaign, having suffered two defeats and three draws in their previous matches.
