2026 WCQ: Benin Republic Eager for Victory Over Super Eagles – Finidi |
Super Eagles coach, Finidi George, acknowledges that the Squirrels of Benin Republic will enter today's match against his team with high spirits following their encouraging 1-0 victory over Rwanda.
Rwanda's defeat marked their first win in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Meanwhile, the Super Eagles are yet to clinch their first win, having drawn all three matches so far.
Finidi anticipates a confident opponent at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan.
"Their recent victory means their morale will be quite high, and we have no choice but to travel today. We'll arrive in Abidjan to conduct our training.
Tomorrow's the game, and we'll have to see how we play. Their spirits will be lifted by their last win.
"It's beneficial for us. After arriving at the hotel, we had some rest. We're scheduled for a training session this evening."
The match is set to start at 5 p.m. Nigerian time.
