AFCON Qualifiers: Slavia Prague Midfielder Earns First Super Eagles Call-Up

According to a report by Soccernet on Saturday October 24, 2026, Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle has included Slavia Prague midfielder David Moses in his squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Tanzania.

The Super Eagles began their qualifying campaign positively, securing a 2-1 victory over Madagascar. However, their momentum was halted in the following match when Guinea-Bissau delivered a convincing 3-0 defeat.

Nigeria will return to action in November for consecutive fixtures against Tanzania, one of the countries hosting the tournament. Chelle has reportedly selected his preferred players as he looks to strengthen the squad and secure better results.

One of the major developments is the first senior national team invitation for David Moses, who plays in midfield for Czech club Slavia Prague. The youngster has reportedly attracted attention with his performances this season, particularly in the UEFA Champions League.

Moses recently impressed during Slavia Prague’s draw against Turkish opponents Fenerbahce, further strengthening his case for international recognition. His performances have now earned him an opportunity to join the Super Eagles setup under Chelle.

The midfielder was among four Nigerian players who featured for the Czech side during that European encounter. Mubarak Suleiman, Emmanuel Anyaosi and Samuel Isife were the other Nigerians involved in the match.

Moses’ inclusion represents an opportunity for the midfielder to demonstrate his abilities at senior international level as Nigeria prepares for its upcoming qualifying assignments.

Chelle will hope the new invitation brings additional quality and competition to his squad as the Super Eagles seek to recover from their disappointing defeat to Guinea-Bissau.

The upcoming matches against Tanzania will provide Nigeria with an important opportunity to improve their position in the qualifying campaign, while Moses could begin his journey towards establishing himself in the national team if selected to feature.
