Super Eagles

The Super Eagles will travel to Zanzibar on Sunday ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Tanzania.

Head coach Eric Chelle and his players are expected to depart Nigeria aboard a chartered flight from the Victor Attah International Airport.

Nigeria head into the encounter following a 3-1 victory over Tanzania in their Matchday Three fixture played in Uyo on Friday night.

The Taifa Stars will host the return leg at the Amman Stadium in Zanzibar, with the Super Eagles aiming to secure another victory.

A win would strengthen Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2027 AFCON tournament.

The Super Eagles currently occupy second position in Group L with six points from three matches, one point behind leaders Guinea-Bissau.

Nigeria will be hoping to maintain their winning momentum when both sides meet again.
