Super Eagles Depart for Guinea-Bissau AFCON Qualifier
The Super Eagles, Nigeria's national football team, departed from Victor Attah International Airport in Akwa Ibom, Uyo, after defeating Madagascar 2-1 at Godswill Akpabio Stadium. They are set to face Guinea-Bissau, who currently leads Group L after defeating Tanzania 2-0 in their opening match.
The Super Eagles, under the guidance of coach Eric Chelle, trained earlier in the day before boarding a chartered flight to Guinea-Bissau. The match is scheduled for September 29 at the 24th of September National Stadium.
Historically, Guinea-Bissau has faced Nigeria four times, winning once during the AFCON qualifiers in 2023 with a surprising 1-0 victory at MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja. Only the top team in Group L will qualify for AFCON 2027, with Tanzania already qualified as co-hosts, making this match crucial for Nigeria's chances.
