William Troost-Ekong has assured that the Super Eagles will give their all to secure a win against Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Eric Chelle’s team will face Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo next Tuesday.

“We heard that Zimbabwe is feeling confident about getting a result in Uyo, but they should forget about it,” Troost-Ekong said to thenff.com.

He emphasized the team’s strong desire to qualify for the World Cup, saying, “Aside from me, Alex Iwobi, and maybe a couple of others who played at the 2018 World Cup, this generation is hungry to compete at the highest level. We want to make Nigeria proud and prove ourselves.”

The Super Eagles boosted their qualification hopes with a 2-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali last Friday. Nigeria currently sits in fourth place in Group C with six points from five matches.
