The stage is set for this year’s Unity Cup competition taking place at The Valley in London.
The four-nation tournament featuring Nigeria, India, Zimbabwe and Jamaica is scheduled for May 26-30.
Nigeria won the last edition of the Unity Cup in 2025 after beating Jamaica in the final.
The Super Eagles will take on Zimbabwe on Tuesday night with the winner assured of a place in the final of the invitational tournament.
The winner between Nigeria and the Warriors will take on the Reggae Boys of Jamaica or India in the final.
NEWSUNPLUG reports that Jamaica and India will clash on Wednesday in the other semi-final encounter.
However, Nigeria and Zimbabwe shared spoils in their last two encounters.
Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle is looking forward to his side’s Unity Cup semi-final encounter against Zimbabwe.
“Zimbabwe is a great team, a great team with strong players. They come with a lot of motivation. They want to win,” Chelle said at his pre-match interview ahead of the game.
Speaking with NEWSUNPLUG, ahead of Nigeria’s clash with Zimbabwe on Tuesday night, Lagos-based journalist, Femi Fabunmi, backed Chelle’s side to beat their fellow African side and go on to win the Unity Cup again.
“When it comes to the Unity Cup, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are a super weight,” Fabunmi said.
“They are the current holders and will not hesitate to win again.
“Among the four participants, Nigeria is the best ranked of all. Ordinarily and with the array of stars at Super Eagles’ disposal, they should put Zimbabwe to the sword,” he said.
The kickoff time for Nigeria vs Zimbabwe is 7.30 pm.
