How African qualifying works
CAF qualifying runs in groups over home-and-away international windows, with group winners taking the direct places and the best runners-up going into a play-off route. For Nigeria that means every away point matters, and a single dropped home result can decide the group. This page lists the fixtures as they are confirmed, with times already converted to WAT so there is no guessing when the whistle goes at home.
Squad watch
Selection follows club form. The Nigerian players abroad tracker shows who is scoring in Europe going into each window, while the NPFL scoring charts cover the home-based contenders.
