Ndidi, Simon, and Akor Yet to Arrive in London Ahead of Unity Cup Final Against Jamaica

Posted : 29 May 2026

Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi, vice-captain Moses Simon, and striker Akor Adams have not yet reported to Nigeria’s international camp in London. The high-profile trio remains absent just one day before Saturday’s highly anticipated Unity Cup final against Jamaica at The Valley stadium. Team handlers have expressed growing concern over their availability as tactical preparations draw to a close.

The camp official confirmed that the technical staff does not know exactly when the players will arrive. This unexpected delay creates a selection dilemma for head coach Éric Chelle ahead of the weekend showpiece. The three senior professionals were also included in the national squad for next month's international friendly matches against Poland and Portugal.

Nigeria will take on the Reggae Boyz on Saturday in an exact repeat of the 2025 Unity Cup final. An experimental Super Eagles side is expected to be led out by experienced Porto forward Terem Moffi. The current squad relies heavily on seven domestic Nigeria Premier Football League stars who have thoroughly impressed the technical staff since training opened.

The Super Eagles secured their final ticket after defeating Zimbabwe 2-0 in their opening semifinal fixture on Tuesday night. Millwall winger Femi Azeez starred on his debut by scoring a brilliant brace to sink the Warriors. Meanwhile, Jamaica booked their spot in the final with a identical 2-0 victory over India on Wednesday evening.

While the defending champions are desperate to retain their crown, Jamaica will look to end Nigerian dominance in this tournament. The two footballing nations played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the 2025 final before Nigeria won via penalties. Coach Chelle is banking on swift tactical adjustments to fly back to Lagos with the trophy.
