The 39-man provisional squad, unveiled on Tuesday, features several established internationals and in-form players, but the inclusion of Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho has sparked debate among football stakeholders.
Musa, Nigeria's most-capped player with 110 appearances and 18 goals, has not played a competitive minute for Nigeria since 2023. Despite his impressive record, his recall has divided opinion.

Former BCC Lions captain Bolaji Douglas questioned the decision.

Musa, Keshi, Yobo, or Ekong? Super Eagles rank greatest captain ever
The official Super Eagles of Nigeria have put out a list of the greatest Super Eagles captains featuring Keshi, Yobo, Musa and Ekong.
“Ahmed Musa has served the nation very well; I don’t see what he is still doing there. He is blocking someone’s position. Kelechi Iheanacho has struggled this season. Those two readily come to mind,” he said via the nation.
Douglas emphasised that the national team should not be a place for players to regain form.

Ahmed Musa and Rabiu Alli headline the Top 10 highest goalscorers in the NFPL [Updated 2025 list]
After matchday 27, Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa and Rabiu Alli are among the leading goalscorers in the NPFL.
"The national team should never become a rehabilitation centre or a place to come and wind down from the hectic demands on the players by their clubs season," he said.
He continued, "While it may be said that now is not the time to experiment with new players, it can equally be said that there should be no room for those not on top of their games.”
