Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has named a 27-man squad for the 2026 Unity Cup in London, with six Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) players included in the team for the four-nation tournament.
Nigeria will take on Zimbabwe in the semi-final of the competition on May 26 at The Valley Stadium, home of Charlton Athletic in London.

The squad features a blend of established internationals, promising young talents, and standout performers from the domestic league as Chelle continues preparations for upcoming international engagements.
One of the major talking points is the inclusion of Arthur Okonkwo, who receives a call-up after an impressive campaign with Wrexham AFC. He joins Francis Uzoho and home-based goalkeeper Michael Atata in the goalkeeping department.
The six NPFL players invited include Rivers United defender Elias Ochobi, Rangers duo Chibuze Oputa and Obinna Igboke, Ikorodu City pair Aderemi Adeoye and Oyedokun Tosin, alongside Shooting Stars midfielder Ayobami Junior.
In midfield, experienced campaigner Wilfred Ndidi leads the options alongside Samson Tijani, Raphael Onyedika, Tochukwu Nnadi, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, and Yusuf Alhassan.
The attack line boasts several exciting names, including Terem Moffi, Akor Adams, Simon Moses, Philip Otele, Owen Oseni, and Millwall winger Femi Azeez.
Nigeria will open their Unity Cup title defence against Zimbabwe, with a potential final showdown against either Jamaica or India awaiting the winner.
