Enoh’s first assignment with the Super Eagles will be when Nigeria hosts São Tomé on September 10th at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo for the last African Cup of Nations qualifying match.

The fixture is scheduled to take place at the team’s new home, the Uyo Township Stadium on September 10, with the team’s camp set to open five days before that.

Players are already being expected from their club sides as early as today, with the team camp scheduled to officially start on Wednesday September 6.

Super Eagles battle for top spot

Nigeria have already claimed 12 points from their opening five matches in AFCON qualifying Group A after winning four games and suffering a solitary loss to Guinea Bissau in Abuja.

The Super Eagles face the second leg against  Sao Tome and Principe with enormous confidence after beating The Falcons and True Parrots team 10-0 in the first leg in the 12th of July Stadium in Sao Tome.

Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen is the current top scorer in the qualifying series with seven goals, two ahead of Senegal’s Sadio Mane, and could cement his place atop the scorer’s chart with more goals against Sao Tome and Principe to boost his chances of winning the coveted African Player of the Year award.
