According to report, the uninvited Super Eagles players took time out from their holiday schedules to train together at the Legacy Pitch of the National Stadium, Surulere.

Their performance at the National Stadium Surulere serves as a reminder to the coaching staff that there is a pool of talent waiting to be tapped, and it highlights the depth and competitiveness within the Super Eagles squad.
