Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has named a 23-man squad for the friendly matches against Iran and Jordan later this month.
Nigeria will face Iran on March 27, before facing Jordan on March 31, with the tournament now shifted to Antalya, Turkey after it was shifted from Amman, Jordan following the breakout of conflict in the Middle East.
The team includes several regulars who shone at the 2025 African Cup of Nations tournament, with the likes of Wilfried Ndidi, Alex Iwobi and Akor Adams back with the team.
Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, who was left out of the AFCON squad, makes a return this time as first-choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali misses out.
Victor Osimhen and Ryan Alebiosu also miss out of the team, while there are debut call-ups for Rangers defender Emmanuel Fernandez and Philip Otele.
Belgium-based Collins Yira Sor, who is a former junior international also earns a first call-up to the side, while goalkeeper Adebayo Adeleye, who plays in Greece, also returns to the Super Eagles.
The Squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Maduka Okoye, Adeleye Adebayo, Francis Uzoho.
Defenders: Calvin Bassey, Semi Ajayi, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Bruno Onyemaechi, Zaidu Sanusi, Igoh Ogbu, Emmanuel Fernandez.
