Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle said that this year’s Unity Cup would offer itself and its coaching team the opportunity to try some players and other systems.
The Super Eagles is one of the four teams that would be included in the 2025 Edition Build for the Gtech Stadium, home field of Premier League Club Brentford.
The three other teams are black stars from Ghana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.
The first semifinal of the tournament will beg on Tuesday 27 May with Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago Squaring Off.
Then on Wednesday 28 May it will be the West African collision between the Super Eagles and black stars of Ghana.

During his press conference before the game, Chelle explained the importance of giving opportunities to other players, especially the home-based players in the four-country tournament.
“We have many players in Nigeria, so we have to give a chance to many players who can show us their quality,” said the Malianus. “We are focus, we have a project, we want to create an identity, so we have to post players who can learn this project quickly.
“Unity Cup is a project to try some players, to try a number of other systems and be ready in September.
“I was in Nigeria and watched two league matches and I spent time analyzing some players and I think there are some quality players who deserve a chance because I believe they can bring a lot of intensity, aggression.”
In the selection of 10 home -based players and what the recording of Ahmed Musa will bring to the team, Chelle added: “I have chosen 10 players from the NPFL and I can tell you that they are good players. Ahmed Musa is a great player who knows every Nigerian, this is the reality and it is the fact.
“He can bring his quality and experience because he knows the game because he played many large games so that he can bring something to the group.”
