Super Eagles Kick Off AFCON 2027 Qualifiers Against Madagascar
The Super Eagles begin their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign with a crucial double-header in Group L against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau. They will host Madagascar today at 5:00 pm, aiming for a strong start.
Following this, they will travel to Guinea-Bissau for their second fixture on Tuesday at 5:00 pm. The Super Eagles are entering the qualifiers after finishing third at the 2025 AFCON in Morocco and reaching the final in the previous edition held in Côte d’Ivoire.
Their recent failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup has heightened the significance of these opening matches. Both games will be broadcast live on SuperSport, with Nigeria vs Madagascar available on SS La Liga (DStv Ch. 204) and Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria on SS Pop-up (GOtv Ch. 59) for DStv Access and GOtv Value subscribers.
Tanzania has already secured a place at AFCON 2027 as a co-host, leaving Nigeria, Madagascar, and Guinea-Bissau to compete for the remaining qualifying spot in Group L.
