The Super Eagles know they will qualify for the 35th Africa Cup of Nations final tournament if they overcome the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign Matchday 5 encounter in Abidjan on Thursday.
After three wins out of four games played, the Super Eagles top their group with 10 points, 4 more than second-placed Benin Republic, who suffered a glitch in Kigali in the last round of games. A win virtually guarantees Nigeria’s leadership of the group going into the final-day tussles.
The Cheetahs, with 6 points, know they cannot afford any more slip-ups following the tumble in Kigali, as they could still fail to qualify if they lose their last two games, and Rwanda, on 5 points, earn a minimum of 2 points in their own final two games.
The match comes up at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in the heart of the Ivorian capital on Thursday evening.
