Super Eagles to hold first training in Antalya ahead of friendlies

Nigeria’s senior national team, the Super Eagles, will hold their first training session in Antalya, Turkey, this afternoon as preparations intensify for upcoming international friendlies.

The session is scheduled to begin at 4pm local time (2pm Nigerian time) at the team’s base, Bellis Deluxe Hotel, where 15 players have already arrived in camp. Team officials are expecting eight more players to join the squad in the coming hours as preparations gather momentum.

Under the guidance of head coach Eric Chelle, the team is gearing up for two crucial test matches aimed at fine-tuning tactics and assessing player form.

The Super Eagles will take on Iran’s national team, Team Melli, in Antalya on Friday, before facing Jordan national football team four days later.

The friendlies are expected to provide Chelle an opportunity to evaluate new call-ups and strengthen team cohesion ahead of future competitive fixtures, including World Cup qualifiers and continental tournaments.
