Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has barred visitors and journalists from the team’s camp ahead of their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe on Tuesday.
Chelle, seeking to maintain full concentration in the squad, called for heightened focus as the team works to strengthen its qualification bid.
The development was announced in an official statement on Sunday, which also confirmed that the day’s training session would be held behind closed doors.
However, Monday’s session will be briefly open to the media and the public for just 15 minutes.
The statement read, “Coach Eric Chelle is not carried away by the win over Rwanda and is demanding maximum concentration from the players ahead of the next game.”
The Super Eagles hope to build on their recent victory and secure another crucial win against Zimbabwe.
“To this end, he has imposed restrictions in and around the team’s camp, no visitors, no journalists.
Sunday’s training is closed. Monday’s session will be open for the mandatory 15 minutes and this will be shortly after the official press conference.”
