Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has announced his squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier matches against Lesotho and Benin Republic.

Nigeria received a qualification boost after FIFA sanctioned South Africa with a three-point deduction for fielding Teboho Mokoena against Lesotho.

Benin Republic moved to the top of the table on goal difference, with Bafana Bafana dropping to second place. Nigeria and Rwanda are third and fourth with 11 points.

As seen in a post shared on Super Eagles' X page, Chelle announced his 23-man squad for the matches against Lesotho and Benin Republic.

Victor Osimhen shrugged off injury concerns and will lead the attack for the crucial matches, while Ademola Lookman, who reconciled with Atalanta, made the list.

Sevilla forward Akor Adams earned his debut callup after scoring his first La Liga goal, while there were returns for Semi Ajayi, Terem Moffi, Alhassan Yusuf, and Olakunle Olusegun.
