The head coach  Benin Republic, Michel
Dussuyer  has named 23 players for this
month’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double header against the Super
Eagles of Nigeria and Sierra Leone.

The big surprise was the absence of  regular members of the team, Sedangondji and
Rodrigue Kossi.

Captain of the side, Stephan Sessegnon who plays for Turkish club,
Genclerbiligi, Huddersfield United’s Steve Mounié and Cebio Soukou who plays
for German side Arminia Bielefeld are among the top players in the squad.
