Eguavoen urges Super Eagles to defeat South Africa to stay in world cup race
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) technical director, Augustine Eguavoen, has made it clear that the Super Eagles cannot afford to lose when they face Bafana Bafana of South Africa in their next World Cup qualifier.
The Super Eagles boosted their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Rwanda’s Amavubi in Uyo last Saturday, but they remain six points behind South Africa in Group C. A win in Bloemfontein would cut that gap to just three points and keep Nigeria firmly in the race for a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Eguavoen admitted that while South Africa are a strong side deserving of respect, Nigeria’s only target is victory. “This is a massive game. We really have no choice, Nigeria has no choice. We respect South Africa, but we are going for the three points, simple as that,” he told FARPost.
