Early Arrivals Hit Super Eagles Camp in Turkey Ahead of Friendlies

Several members of the Super Eagles have begun arriving at the team’s training base in Turkey as preparations gather pace for the upcoming international friendly matches later this month.

Among the first group of players to report to camp are Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi, Hull City defender Semi Ajayi, and Lazio midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru. The trio are part of an initial batch of players who touched down as camp officially opened on Tuesday.

Nigeria are scheduled to face Iran and Jordan in friendly fixtures aimed at helping the coaching crew assess the squad and test new ideas. Although the team will not be involved in the next World Cup, the matches are expected to provide valuable opportunities for tactical adjustments and player evaluation.

According to updates from the team’s media office, a number of players had already checked into the camp at the Bellis Deluce Hotel in Antalya by Monday.

The early arrivals include Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Alex Iwobi, Emmanuel Oluwasegun, Yira Sor, Paul Onuachu, Philip Otele, Semi Ajayi, Moses Simon, Francis Uzoho, Bruno Onyemaechi, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Frank Onyeka, and Adebayo Adeleye.

More players are still expected to join the squad, with Samuel Chukwueze and Maduka Okoye among those scheduled to arrive on Wednesday.

With camp gradually filling up, attention now shifts to full training sessions as the Super Eagles intensify preparations for the international fixtures.
