Upon arriving in Abidjan yesterday, Super Eagles coach Finidi George emphasized the team’s determination and focus. He stated, “We are fully aware of the task ahead. The players are eager to qualify for the World Cup and are committed to giving their best in every game.”

Reflecting on their previous match against South Africa, George acknowledged missed opportunities but emphasized the need to focus on the upcoming challenge. “We had chances in the South Africa game that we should have capitalized on, but that is now in the past. Our attention is on the match against Benin Republic, and we are prepared to tackle it head-on,” he remarked.

The game will occur at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny, where the Super Eagles achieved success by winning all three matches during the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.
