Nigerian football star, Ahmed Musa, has issued a rallying call to his Super Eagles teammates ahead of their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin.
Musa, a former Leicester City player, emphasized the importance of winning both games, especially after the team’s slow start in the qualifiers. “Everyone knows the importance of both games, the players understand what’s at stake and I want them to go all out and win both games,” Musa told SCORENigeria.
The Super Eagles, currently third in Group C with two points from as many matches, are set to host Bafana Bafana of South Africa in Uyo on Friday, June 7. They will then travel to Abidjan three days later for another World Cup qualifier against Benin.
Musa expressed optimism about the team’s prospects, stating, “I am upbeat they will do this.” His comments underscore the high stakes of the upcoming matches and the team’s determination to secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
As the Super Eagles prepare for these pivotal games, the eyes of football fans across Nigeria and beyond will be on them, eagerly anticipating their performance.
