Super Eagles in Abidjan to Defeat Benin Republic – Finidi George

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will square off against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in an all-important 2026 World Cup qualifier today by 5PM at the Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

 

Nigeria, currently fifth in Group C, is eager to secure their first win of the qualifying campaign. The Super Eagles have drawn their initial three matches against Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw against South Africa at the Godwin Akpabio Stadium.

 

Coach FINIDI GEORGE, who revealed his disappointment with the draw against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa, is confident that the Super Eagles will bounce back and get their qualification hopes shining bright.

 

A win for Nigeria against Benin Republic who are second in Group C with four points would significantly boost Nigeria’s standing and revive their World Cup hopes.
