Super Eagles Coach Eric Chelle Attends NPFL Clash, Scouts Talent for Unity Cup

Nigeria senior men’s national team head coach Eric Chelle was on hand at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan today to watch the Nigeria Premier Football League match between Shooting Stars SC and Nasarawa United.

Chelle received a warm welcome from the hosts and was presented with a customised Shooting Stars home jersey as a token of appreciation.

The thrilling encounter ended 3-2 in favour of Shooting Stars, with the Oluyole Warriors delivering an impressive performance in front of the Super Eagles coach.

Chelle is currently in Nigeria on a talent scouting mission, keeping a close eye on standout NPFL performers as he seeks to identify players for potential call-ups to the upcoming Unity Cup.
