Super Eagles head coach José Peseiro has released his official 25-man squad for the upcoming African Cup of Nations in Cote d'Ivoire, and it's looking quite impressive.

Let's dive into the details and take a closer look at the players who will be representing Nigeria on the big stage.

In the goalkeeping department, we have Stanley Nwabili from Chippa United in South Africa, Francis Uzoho from Omonia FC in Cyprus, and Olorunleke Ojo from Enyimba FC. These talented keepers will be crucial in providing a solid defensive foundation for the team.

Moving on to the defenders, we have a mix of experienced and promising young talents.

Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester City in England, Raphael Onyedika from Club Brugge in Belgium, Joe Ayodele-Aribo from Southampton FC in England, Frank Onyeka from Brentford FC in England, and Alex Iwobi from Fulham FC in England will provide creativity, control, and stability in the middle of the park.
