Super Eagles battle Pharaohs in pre-AFCON friendly

Nigeria and Egypt will clash in pre-2025 Africa Cup of Nations friendly at the Cairo International Stadium on Tuesday (today).
The two countries will use the friendly to test new players, and possibly tactics ahead of the AFCON.
Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle named a couple of newbies including Ebenezer Akinsanmiro Usman Mohammed, Tochukwu Nnadi, Ryan Alebiosu and Salim Fago Lawal in his squad for the competition.
The new invitees are expected to get a run out against the Pharaohs.
The game is also an opportunity for some of the players to stake claim for shirts in the team.
22 players are currently in the Super Eagles Renaissance Hotel base in Cairo.
The likes of Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon, and Samuel Chukwueze are expected to link up with the team in Morocco.
The match will kick off at 8pm Egypt time (7pm Nigeria time).
