Super Eagles target Unity Cup revenge as Jamaica await in London final

Nigeria’s Super Eagles say they are approaching Saturday’s Unity Cup final against Jamaica with caution as both teams prepare for another showdown in London.

The defending champions booked their place in the final after defeating Zimbabwe 2-0 in Tuesday’s semi-final at Charlton Athletic Stadium, while Jamaica advanced to set up a repeat of last year’s final.

Head coach Eric Chelle praised his players’ performance against Zimbabwe but suggested he could make tactical adjustments ahead of the clash with the Reggae Boyz.

Nigeria defeated Jamaica on penalties in the 2025 Unity Cup final after both sides played out a 2-2 draw in regulation time.

The Super Eagles also have a strong historical record in the competition, having won the inaugural edition in 2002 with a 1-0 victory over Jamaica before lifting the trophy again in 2004.

Chelle is expected to retain much of the squad that impressed against Zimbabwe, with goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo likely to keep his place after recording a clean sheet in the semi-final.

The defensive line could again feature Chibueze Oputa, Chibuike Nwaiwu, Igoh Ogbu and Obinna Igboke, while Tochukwu Nnadi is expected to partner Alhassan Yusuf and Samson Tijani in midfield.

Nigeria’s attack may once again be led by Terem Moffi, Philip Otele and Femi Azeez, who scored twice on their debuts against Zimbabwe earlier this week.

Francis Uzoho also remains available alongside Tosin Oyedokun, Owen Oseni and Rafiu Durosinmi as the Super Eagles aim to retain the Unity Cup title.

The team trained at Cray Valley ahead of their final preparation session at The Valley before Saturday’s encounter.

The Unity Cup returned in 2025 after a lengthy absence, bringing together Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago in a mini international tournament hosted in London.
