Super Eagles camp for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations has officially opened in Cairo, Egypt, with FC Porto left-back Zaidu Sanusi joining 10 other players already in camp.
Sanusi’s arrival brings the number of players present to 11 as Nigeria steps up preparations for the continental tournament scheduled to hold in Morocco. According to the Super Eagles’ Media Officer, 12 more players are expected to report to camp later today, Monday, December 15.
