Lookman, Dessers Arrive Super Eagles Training Camp For World Cup Qualifiers

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.

According to Efoghe, 18 players have currently reported to camp, with five more players expected to join in the lead-up to the matches.

Dessers recently completed a permanent move from Scottish heavyweights Rangers to top Greek side Panathinaikos, signalling a new chapter in his career.

Among the players currently in camp include notable stars like Captain Troost Ekong, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi, and Moses Simon, as they prepare to represent Nigeria on the international stage.
