Two key 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Group C of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the African zone will come to a conclusion on Tuesday evening.
The two decisive fixtures will be played this Tuesday from 5:00 pm.
Nigeria host Benin Republic in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, clinging to a little hope of qualification.
The Super Eagles currently sit in third place with 14 points, one point behind South Africa.
Only a win will do for Eric Chelle’s men if they are to land the ticket ahead of Gernot Rohr’s side.
In the other game, South Africa will be all out for maximum points, as they wait to capitalize on any bad result in Uyo.
This three-horse race promises to be very intriguing.
