Nigeria's Eric Chelle Prepares for Key AFCON Qualifier

Eric Chelle, the head coach of Nigeria, has issued a rallying call to his team ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea-Bissau. The match is scheduled to take place at the September 24 Stadium in Bissau, marking matchday two of the qualifying campaign.

Both Nigeria and Guinea-Bissau enter the fixture with confidence, having secured opening-day victories; Nigeria won 2-1, while Guinea-Bissau achieved an away win against co-host Tanzania. During a pre-match press conference, Chelle acknowledged the confidence of the hosts but stressed that Nigeria's ambitions remain unchanged.

The outcome of this match is crucial for the group standings, as the winner will take the lead in the table, while a draw would leave both teams level on points. The match is expected to significantly influence the conclusion of Nigeria's qualifying campaign during the September international break.
