The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has unveiled the roster of 25 players who will represent the Super Eagles in upcoming international friendly matches against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique. These games are set to take place later this month.

One notable inclusion in the squad is Hatayspor’s star, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru. The 22-year-old midfielder has been delivering outstanding performances with Turkish side Hatayspor, contributing four goals and two assists in just seven appearances. His remarkable form has earned him a spot on Coach Jose Peseiro’s team.

However, Gent’s Gift Orban will not be part of the squad for these friendlies. In his place, Nice’s Terem Moffi has received the call-up, having previously been omitted from the team that faced Sao Tome and Principe. On the other hand, Jordan Torunarigha from Gent has retained his spot in the lineup.
