Head Coach Augustine Eguavoen has invited 30 players to camp as the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) intensifies efforts to qualify the Super Eagles B for the 8th African Nations Championship finals. The continental championship, scheduled to hold in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania in February 2025, is exclusively for footballers playing in their country's domestic leagues.

Veteran midfielder Rabiu Ali, who has scored eight goals this season, is among the invited players, alongside Remo Stars' goalkeeper Kayode Bankole, Rivers United defender Steven Mayo, and Abia Warriors' forward Sunday Megwo.

Other notable invitees include Enyimba FC goalkeeper Henry Ozoemena, Remo Stars' wing-back Ismail Sadiq, Enugu Rangers' midfielder Kazeem Ogunleye, and Nasarawa United forward Anas Yusuf.

The invited players are expected to report to the Remo Stars Sports Institute, Ikenne-Remo, Ogun State on Wednesday, December 4th, 2024. The team will train ahead of the first leg of the qualification fixture against Ghana's Black Stars B, scheduled for the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, December 22nd. The second leg will take place at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo on Saturday, December 28th.

Ghana has been a nemesis to Nigeria in the African Nations Championship qualifiers, stopping the Super Eagles B from reaching the finals in 2009 and 2023.
