With Victor Osimhen unavailable, Nigeria's Super Eagles face a key selection decision ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. According to PUNCH Sports Extra, coach Eric Chelle must decide who will lead the team's attack when the squad converges for the first qualifying window. The report examines the available striking options as Nigeria prepares for the upcoming matches, with Osimhen's absence leaving a significant gap in the front line.

Former Super Eagles head coach Augustine "Cerezo" Eguavoen has been appointed interim coach of Nigeria's women's national football team, the Super Falcons, according to Vanguard News. He will lead the side on a temporary basis, including ahead of the 2028 Olympic qualifiers, while the Nigeria Football Federation continues its search for a permanent manager for the team.

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has not yet signed a contract extension with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), according to BBC journalist Oluwashina Okeleji. The NFF is facing increased competition from other African nations seeking to secure the services of the Franco-Malian coach. Shehu Dikko, the chairman of the National Sports Commission, is involved in the efforts to retain Chelle.

Super Eagles defender Ola Aina has discussed his season ambitions with Nottingham Forest under head coach Oliver Glasner and life at the club following compatriot Taiwo Awoniyi's departure, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. The Chelsea academy graduate, who joined Forest from an Italian side, remains optimistic despite the team's slow start to the campaign.

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has not yet signed a new contract, raising concerns about his future with the team. Reports indicate that Algeria and other clubs are showing interest in him, which could complicate his position with the Super Eagles, according to Punch.

The Nigeria Football Federation and the National Sports Commission have confirmed they will announce a new head coach for the Super Falcons today, according to Punch. The appointment is part of efforts to rebuild the women's national team ahead of qualification for the 2028 Olympic Games. The identity of the incoming coach has not yet been disclosed, with both bodies confirming only that the announcement will take place today.
