Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle will today lead out the CHAN Eagles for the CHAN in East Africa.
The NFF have tasked Eric Chelle to take full charge of the home-based Super Eagles with Daniel Ogunmodede and Fidelis Ilechikwu as assistants.
The CHAN Eagles have been training in Ikenne for the tournament, which kicks off on August 2.
Several call-ups like Papa Daniel (Niger Tornadoes, midfielder), Waliu Ojetoye (Ikorodu City, defender) and Isaac Saviour (Enugu Rangers, midfielder) pulled out of the squad to pursue professional football overseas.
Officials told SCORENigeria that the team will play a test game against the Zanzibar team on Monday, July 28 and a second friendly against the same team three days later.
They will open their CHAN campaign on August 5 against defending champions Senegal in Zanzibar.
They then take on Congo a week later, before a final group game August 19 against Sudan.
