Super Eagles List: Mikel, Moses Lead 21 Others To World Cup Stage
Nigeria has released its 23 man World Cup squad ahead of the official kick off of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
The much awaited 23 man list of the Super Eagles of Nigeria going to the World Cup was released earlier today.
Nigerians waited patiently for the final list after the International friendly match with England which ended 2-1 in favour of the three lions at Wembley.
The names release seems to be the perfect legs for the Mundial when the FIFA 2018 World Cup gets underway in less than two weeks away from now and coach Gernot Rohr knows better what his tactics and formation are.
Although many football enthusiastics are not comfortable with the inclusion of Ogenyi Onazi and Joel Obi after last night display at Wembley stadium in London were Nigeria lost the game but still believe in the team to do better after the team rejuvenated the spirit of sportsmanship in the second half.
However, Coach Gernot Rohr is very much optimistic that his lads will not disappoint when they face Croatia in their opening game.
Below is the list of 23 man squad that will lift Nigeria first World Cup trophy.
