The Super Eagles of Nigeria will host the Seychelles national team in the last round of qualifying matches for the African Cup of Nations holding in Egypt later this year.
The match will take place on Friday, 22nd March at the Stephen Keshi stadium in Delta state, Nigeria by 4pm.
The Nigerian team will be gunning for their fourth victory in their 2019 AFCON qualification run when they file out against Seychelles.
The Super Eagles secured qualification for 2019 AFCON with a 1-1 away draw to South Africa in November last year. The point was enough to guarantee the Super Eagles a top-two finish in Group E which qualifies them for a spot in Egypt 2019.
Although the Super Eagles have secured a place in Eygpt, they will be hoping to end the qualifying series on a positive note.
According to the Super Eagles official team report as tweeted on their Twitter handle, a full house with 23 invited players are already on camp in preparation for the game.
The 23 players on camp are Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi, Odion Ighalo, Semi Ajayi, Kenneth Omeruo, Daniel Akpeyi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Ikouwem Utin and Valentine Ozornwafor.
Others are Paul Onuachu, Effiong Ndifreke, Leon Balogun, Troost Ekong, Abdullahi Shehu, Wilfred Ndidi, Chidozie Awaziem, Moses Simon, and Jamilu Collins. John Ogu, Etebo Ogenekaro, Francis Uzoho, Victor Osimhen and Henry Onyekuru have also been confirmed to have arrived camp.
The first leg ended in a 3-0 victory for the Super Eagles at the Stade Linite, Victoria – with Odion Ighalo, Ahmed Musa and Chidozie Awaziem finding the net.
