“Coach Éric Chelle, the seven home-based players and the backroom staff will travel together, while the foreign-based players are expected to join the team in camp after our arrival in London.”

Chelle recently named a 27-man squad for the invitational competition, blending experienced internationals with several new faces.

The Super Eagles will kick off the defence of their Unity Cup crown against Warriors at the Valley next Tuesday.

The winner of the encounter will advance to the final, where they will meet either India national football team or Jamaica national football team on Saturday, 30 May.
