SUPER EAGLES FACE TANZANIA IN CRUCIAL 2027 AFCON QUALIFIER

Nigeria’s Super Eagles will take on Tanzania in Uyo today in a crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter as they seek to revive their campaign.

In a statement , the team’s coach, ERIC CHELLE,  emphasised the need to win the match against Tanzania, and the return fixture scheduled for Dar es Salaam four days after the first meeting.

Nigeria have recorded five victories and three draws in eight previous encounters with Tanzania, who automatically qualified for the competition as co-hosts alongside Uganda and Kenya.

The Super Eagles currently sit behind Guinea-Bissau in Group L after securing a 2-1 win over Madagascar before suffering a 3-0 defeat to the same group rivals.

Today’s match, which is scheduled to begin at 5 o’clock in the evening Nigerian time, offers Nigeria an opportunity to improve its chances of claiming the group’s only remaining qualification spot.
