For the Unity Cup, Chelle included captain Wilfred Ndidi, goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, defenders Bruno Onyemaechi and Igoh Ogbu, as well as forwards Moses Simon, Akor Adams, and Terem Moffi in the team set to defend the title.

The competition will take place at Charlton Athletic Stadium between May 26 and May 30, with Nigeria facing Zimbabwe in the semi-final on May 26.

A win would see the Super Eagles progress to the final, where they will meet either Jamaica or India, who play the other semi-final a day later at the same venue.

The coach also handed first-time call-ups to goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, defenders Emmanuel Fernandez, midfielders Raphael Onyedika, Tochukwu Nnadi, and Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, as well as striker Rafiu Durosinmi.

Several home-based players also earned invitations, including goalkeeper Michael Atata and midfielders Aderemi Adeoye, Ayobami Junior, and Tosin Oyedokun.

Attention will then shift to Europe in June, where Nigeria will take on Poland at the PGE Narodowy Stadium on June 3 before travelling to Leiria to face Portugal at the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa on June 10.

Big names such as Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Paul Onuachu headline the 24-man squad for the friendlies, alongside Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, and Frank Onyeka.

The June fixtures are seen as key preparations for the Super Eagles ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, where they have been drawn alongside Madagascar, Tanzania, and Guinea-Bissau.
