Benin Coach Urges Players to Prepare for World Cup Qualifier Against Nigeria

Benin Republic's head coach, Gernot Rohr, has urged his players to prepare for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Nigeria. The Cheetahs lead Group C in the CAF qualification with 14 points and a better goal difference than South Africa.

South Africa was penalized for fielding an ineligible player against Lesotho, giving them a three-point deduction. FIFA sanctioned South Africa, pushing Nigeria to the top of the table.

Rohr's team is set to face Rwanda in Kigali on October 14. The coach has already informed his players about the importance of the match in the race for the World Cup ticket.

The game is crucial for the Super Eagles as they cannot afford to drop points.
