The team is scheduled to arrive in Abuja on October 7 before heading to Uyo for the crucial clash against the Super Eagles at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on October 11, 2025.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s coach Augustine Eguavoen has yet to announce his squad for the doubleheader, with the return leg set for October 15 at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Benghazi.
