The Super Eagles have landed in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire’s capital, in preparation for their crucial Matchday 4 fixture against Benin Republic in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, scheduled for Monday.
Currently, the African silver medalists are fifth in their group, having secured only three points from their three matches.
Their position makes this game pivotal as they strive to improve their standing.
Benin Republic, buoyed by a 1-0 victory over Rwanda in Matchday 3, are entering this contest with high spirits.
Their coach, Gernot Rohr, who previously helmed the Super Eagles, might see this as a chance to prove a point following his departure from the Nigerian team.
The Super Eagles acclimatized to the playing surface during their first training session on Sunday at 5:00 PM, with the media allowed access for the first fifteen minutes.
Group C is currently led by Lesotho with five points, followed closely by Benin Republic, Rwanda, and South Africa, all tied at four points each.
