Eric Chelle continued his nationwide scouting tour with a high-profile appearance at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, where Ikorodu City F.C. secured a 3–1 victory over Wikki Tourists F.C. in a Nigeria Premier Football League fixture, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Super Eagles boss was warmly received by the home club’s management and presented with a symbolic No. 10 jersey before kickoff, acknowledging his presence at the encounter.
Chelle’s visit forms part of his ongoing effort to assess domestic talent, as he looks to identify players capable of strengthening the national team ahead of upcoming international engagements, including a four-nation tournament in London.
The Franco-Malian tactician has maintained a strong presence across Nigerian football venues in recent days. He was in attendance at the NNL Super Four tournament opener held at the Remo Stars Stadium, and also visited the Lekan Salami Stadium during an NPFL clash between Shooting Stars and Nasarawa United.
Ikorodu City later confirmed his presence via their official platforms, highlighting his attendance during their home victory.
Chelle’s continued engagement with the domestic scene underlines a deliberate strategy to expand the Super Eagles’ talent pool, with increased opportunities expected for standout performers in the local league as preparations intensify for future competitions.
