The Super Eagles are set to accelerate their tactical preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations by holding two intensive training sessions today, Friday.
This increased workload follows the team’s arrival at their tournament base in Fès, Morocco, late Thursday night. Because the squad reached their destination behind schedule, the coaching staff made the decision to scrap yesterday evening’s planned workout to allow the players adequate recovery time.
Head coach Eric Chelle has designed a rigorous Friday itinerary to ensure the team acclimates quickly to the local climate and pitch conditions. The morning session commenced at 10:00 AM local time, focusing primarily on physical conditioning and recovery drills.
The team will return to the pitch at 6:00 PM local time for a second session, which is expected to center on tactical shape and offensive patterns ahead of their Group C opener.
Nigeria remains focused on their first competitive hurdle against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania, scheduled for Tuesday. With the full contingent of 28 players now present in camp, the technical crew is prioritizing squad cohesion and set-piece organization.
These sessions in Fès mark the final phase of a preparation cycle that began in Cairo, as the three-time African champions aim to secure a dominant start to their quest for a fourth continental title.
