Chelle faces a tough test against Tanzania as the Super Eagles look to get their AFCON qualifying campaign back on track.
The Super Eagles need maximum points from the double-header against the Taifa Stars; otherwise, they risk missing out on next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The Super Eagles will face Tanzania in the first leg at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday, November 13. The return fixture is scheduled for Amman Stadium in Zanzibar, Tanzania, on Tuesday, November 17.
Recall that Nigeria’s 3-0 loss to Guinea-Bissau on matchday two has left the team in a difficult position, with the Djurtus leading Group L with six points from two matches.
Given the group’s unusual format, only one team will qualify, as Tanzania has already secured its place as one of the hosts of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
