Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams says win against Nigeria is important
South Africa captain Ronwen Williams has stressed the importance of taking all three points when Bafana Bafana face Nigeria in their crucial World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein.
Coach Hugo Broos and his men currently lead Group C with 16 points from seven games, while Nigeria sit in third place with just seven points from the same number of matches. A win for South Africa could seal their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, depending on results elsewhere in the group.
Williams, who also plays his club football with Mamelodi Sundowns, made it clear that the team’s focus is firmly on Nigeria rather than other fixtures. “The most important thing is to get the job done. We don’t want to rely on favours or other results, we want to take control and do it our way,” the goalkeeper told Safa.net.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
