Ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Super Eagles camp has opened in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Recall, Coach Jose Peseiro has already named 25 players for the competition which begins mid-January in the West African nation of Cote d’Ivoire.

Meanwhile, Samuel Chukwueze of AC Milan, goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, William Troost-Ekong, and Sadiq Umar of Real Sociedad have been granted permission to feature for their sides in games later today. They will then hit the camp on Wednesday.

Nigeria will be in the UAE for a week as they fine-tune plans for the biennial football showpiece.
