The Super Eagles will have to submit to CAF a final 23-man squad for the 2025 AFCON on December 11, officials said.
This will be 10 days before the opening game of the African football showpiece event in Morocco.
The Super Eagles, like the other qualifiers for the 2025 AFCON, have already submitted to CAF a provisional squad that could have as many as 55 players and it is from this compilation that a final squad will be named.
The Super Eagles face Tunisia, Tanzania and Uganda in the first round of the tournament.
They open their campaign against Tanzania on December 23.

My ADVICE FOR ERIC CHELLE & ASSISTANTS IS STRICTLY BASE ON WHO & WHICH PLAYERS TRUELY DESERVE TO BE INVITED FOR NEXT AFCON COMPETITION .
## ERIC CHELLE SHOULD GO & ANALYTICALLY WATCH THE PERFORMANCE OF LAST TEN CONSECUTIVE MATCHES EACH PLAYERS HAS PLAYED IN THE PAST FOR SUPER EAGLE TO REALLY KNOW WHICH PLAYERS ACTUALLY HAVE THE FIGHTING SPIRIT(aggressiveness), QUALITY, POTENTIAL & TRUELY DESERVE TO BE INVITED FOR NEXT AFCON SQUAD..
*** FOR INSTANCE:
@(1). the performance of the last ten matches BONIFACE played is ZERO. IT IS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT.( despite not scoring goal, he doesn’t show good quality on the field of play) OLUWASEGUN( from Russia), DUROSIMI(from vict.Pizen) are better than him.
@(2). ….. ONUACHU last ten matches played is also ZERO also.. IT’S NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT ASLO. ONUACHU has won highest goal scorers golden boot award with different clubs in Europe (he is European club goal scorers DECIEVER)l. BUT IN NIGERIA, HE ALWAYS FLOP,.
ERIC CHELLE SHOULD NOT BE CARRIED AWAY WITH HIS PRESENT GOALSCORING FORM. THIS IS A PLAYER THAT HAS PLAYED MORE THAN 20 MATCHES FOR SUPER EAGLE UNDER FIVE DIFFERENT COACH WITH JUST ONLY TWO GOALS SCORED. HIS STYLE OF PLAY DOESN’T SUIT SUPER EAGLE TEAM SETTING AS IT WAS COMPLAINED BY FORMER SUPER EAGLE COACH GERNOT ROHR.
GIFT ORBAN, ADAM AKORS is far far better than him.
PLAYERS WITH STRONG CHARACTER, AGGRESSIVENESS, FIGHTING SPIRIT & ABLE TO RUN WITH THE BALL IS THE KEY TO WIN NEXT AFCON CUP .
### ERIC CHELLE SHOULD FORGET ABOUT EGO, SENIORITY, LEADERSHIP/CAPTAINSHIP, EXPERIENCE (without fitness), TRIBALISM, FAVOURISM, QUOTA SYSTEM. AND SELECT AFCON SQUAD BASED ON POTENTIAL, QUALITY, AGGRESSIVENESS, DETERMINATION
