Breaking: Jose Peseiro releases final 25-man Super Eagles squad for AFCON 2023 (Full list)
Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro has finally released the much-anticipated 25-man list for the delayed 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Captain Ahmed Musa made the team, while Enyimba’s Olorunleke Ojo is the only home-based player called up by coach Peseiro.
The list, which was released on Friday evening, as expected, featured Africa’s Best Player of the Year award winner, Victor Osimhen.
Francis Uzoho, who has been under fire over his shoddy performance for the national team, was a surprise on the list.
Victor Boniface, who is currently having a good time with his German Bundesliga club, Bayer Leverkusen, also featured in the team.
The 2023 AFCON, which will be decided in Ivory Coast, will run from January 13 to February 11, 2024.
