2026 WCQ: Super Eagles are prepared to face South Africa- Finidi

The head coach of the Super Eagles, Finidi George, has emphasized the team’s focus on their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana.

Despite being three-time African champions, the Super Eagles have yet to secure a victory in the qualifiers, having only managed draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe in their opening games.

In order to revive their qualification campaign, the West Africans must secure a win against Hugo Broos’ side. Finidi acknowledges the challenging task ahead but remains confident that his team can overcome the obstacles they face.

The team will diligently carry out their responsibilities and strive to deliver the best performance possible, with no distractions or concerns beyond the game itself.
