WATCH: Super Eagles players gearing up for Guinea-Bissau AFCON Qualifying match

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are scheduled to play Guinea-Bissau in their first leg of their AFCON qualifying match this week

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been spotted practising for their Africa Cup of Nations tie against Guinea-Bissau.

The Super Eagles head coach recently announced his 23-man squad list, which featured Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Samuel Chukwueze, among others, as the team’s encounter with the African wild dogs approaches.

Several players have begun settling in and getting ready for their doubleheader match as the Super Eagles camp officially opened on Sunday.

The goalkeeper trainer can be seen tossing the ball to Omonoia FC goalie Francis Uzoho, and Flying Eagles goalkeeper Kingsley Aniagboso in a video shared by the NFFTV. Meanwhile, Moses Simon, Joe Aribo, and many more could be spotted taking part in the technical training.

Watch the video here:

Nigeria is in the top position in Group A with six points after winning their first two games against Sierra Leone and Sao Tome & Principe, while their West African opponent is in second place with four points.

The Super Eagles will play Guinea-Bissau at home on March 24 before travelling to Bissau to play the same opponents three days later.

Nigeria will secure their qualifying spot for the next AFCON if the Super Eagles win both of their games.
