The home-based Super Eagles are intensifying preparation for their 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifying fixture against the Black Galaxies of Ghana.
30 players are currently at the team’s camp in Ikenne, Ogun State.
They trained twice on the second day of camping on Thursday.
The players also had another two sessions on Friday.
Ghana will host the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, December 22.
The second leg will take place at the Godswill Akpabio international Stadium, Uyo on Saturday, December 28.
Ghana stopped Nigeria from reaching the CHAN finals in 2009 and 2023.
In the qualifiers for the inaugural edition hosted by Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria took a 2-0 first-half lead in the opening leg in Accra, only to concede three goals in the second half.
The return leg in Calabar ended 0-0.
In the qualifiers for the last edition hosted by Algeria, Ghana won 2-0 at home and lost 0-2 in Abuja, but prevailed after a penalty shootout at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.
