The Super Eagles of Nigeria have arrived in Fes, Morocco, ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, touching down in the host city on Thursday night.
The three-time African champions travelled from Cairo, Egypt, where they spent four days in camp, rounding off their preparations for the tournament.
While in Egypt, Nigeria played a pre-AFCON friendly against the Pharaohs but fell to a 2-1 defeat, BBC reports.
Defender Chidozie Awaziem scored Nigeria’s only goal in the encounter, which served as the team’s final test before heading to Morocco.
True to their reputation, the Super Eagles once again caught attention with their appearance on arrival as the players were dressed in custom-made green native outfits produced from high-quality fabric.
The attire featured elegant flower-shaped embroidery on the chest and was paired with matching caps and leather shoes.
The coordinated look underlined why Nigeria are often praised for their fashion sense and cultural influence across Africa. Heading into AFCON 2025, the Super Eagles have already been named among the favourites to win the tournament.
Eric Chelle’s bags steal the spotlight
While Nigeria’s outfits earned admiration, Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle became the centre of online discussion for a very different reason.
His choice of travelling bags quickly caught the attention of fans after Nigeria’s arrival in Morocco
Chelle was spotted with “Ghana Must Go” bags, a decision that sparked widespread reactions on social media.
The term “Ghana Must Go” refers to the cheap, durable, checkered bags used by more than a million undocumented West African migrants, many of them Ghanaians, who were expelled from Nigeria in January 1983, per Mail & Guardian.
