The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially revealed the 41-man provisional squad selected by Super Eagles’ head coach, Jose Peseiro, for the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. This eagerly anticipated announcement was made public on CAF’s official website early Wednesday. Among the notable inclusions are three local talents: Ojo Olorunleke, Amas Obasogie, and Christian Nwoke.
Peseiro is slated to finalize his squad and submit the official roster to CAF no later than January 3. In a key development, the CAF Organising Committee has sanctioned all 24 competing teams to assemble a final squad comprising 27 players. Notably, there’s a provision for the inclusion of four supplementary players in the final list, offering a strategic advantage while not being compulsory.
Mark your calendars, as the grand spectacle is set to unfold from January 13 to February 11, 2024, across the Ivorian cities of Abidjan, Bouake, Korhogo, San Pedro, and Yamoussoukro.
The unveiling of this provisional squad signals the commencement of an exciting journey for the Super Eagles as they gear up to compete amidst the electrifying atmosphere of the AFCON 2023. The anticipation is palpable, and football enthusiasts around the world are eager to witness the drama, skills, and triumphs that this prestigious tournament promises to deliver.
