Super Eagles Tipped to Beat Benin, SA for World Cup Spot

Date:

Terem Moffi is confident the Super Eagles can qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite the team’s precarious position in Group C.

Eric Chelle’s side occupy third position in the group behind Benin Republic and South Africa.

The Super Eagles have garnered 11 points, while Benin and South Africa are on 14 points each.

The three-time African must win their remaining two games and pray Benin, and South Africa drop points to qualify for the World Cup.

Moffi, who is making a return to the team after his lengthy injury layoff believed the task is achievable.

“We are really confident about qualifying for the World Cup,” Moffi told the Super Eagles media.

“We have to do our part and wait for the result of the other team. So, we’re really confident things will go our way.”

Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, echoed his teammates optimism by insisting they will fight to the end

“We’re optimistic and we’re always going to fight till the end,” he said.

“We believe and we’re never going to stop believing, two important games, Friday, the first one, and after that we get back to Nigeria. Our focus now is on Lesotho,” he concluded.
