Gabon’s head coach Thierry Mouyouma has named a 27-man squad for next week’s decisive CAF World Cup playoff against Nigeria’s Super Eagles in Rabat, Morocco. The match, scheduled for Thursday, November 13, will determine which team advances to the final playoff round.
Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang headlines the list, joined by midfield enforcer Mario Lemina and in-form forward Denis Bouanga. Mouyouma has also handed first international call-ups to Bordeaux duo Jonathan Do Marcolino and Royce Openda, while Alex Moucketou-Moussounda returns to strengthen the defence.
