The Super Eagles have welcomed the talented duo of Ademola Lookman and Cyriel Dessers into their training camp in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital ahead of crucial Group C matches in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa.
Media Officer of the Super Eagles, Promise Efoghe announced their arrival to the camp on Wednesday afternoon.
