The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in June 2024, when Nigeria were still managed by Finidi George. Now under Eric Chelle, the Eagles are in camp ahead of their match against Rwanda in Uyo.
Felix Agu, Chidozie Awaziem, Bruno Onyemaechi, Benjamin Frederick and goalkeeper Adebayo Adeleye were among 15 players already in training as Nigeria step up preparations.
