The pharaohs of Egypt albatross, Chukwueze you are welcome to the fold. It is possible the remaining players are avoiding the prevalent covid-19 variants. They should be waiting for others in Cameroon. Good luck boys.
The dazzling dazzler in the house. Leggo guys?
Chukwueze U are welcome on board to the Eagles camp.Please show them Pepe with your God gifted skills in Cameroon..
DOES anyone know What is keeping jamilu collins from reporting to camp up till now. Awoniyi plays in the bundesliga and he arrived early but collins is yet to come.
Cameroon won the cup on Nigerian soil in AFCON 2000, now is Nigeria’s opportunity to revenge and win the cup on Cameroonian soil in AFCON 2021.
God bless Nigeria!
Algeria vs Ghana Friendly game. The match hasn’t even started Algeria has already popped 1 goal…lol. Naija is still expecting players, yet they believe we’ll just go and win the cup. Well, enjoy the game guys
