The Nigeria Super Eagles are preparing for a vital classification match of the FIFA 2026 World Cup against Zimbabwe, since both teams are looking for three crucial points to increase their chances of reaching the global tournament.
Super Eagles looking to keep the impulse
Nigeria enters the match behind a convincing 2-0 victory against Rwanda, with Victor Osimhen scoring both goals. The victory was a great boost for the Super Eagles, who now have six points of five games, but they still sit behind Rwanda, Benin Republic and South Africa in the classification of Group C.
Zimbabwe’s struggles in the qualifiers
Zimbabwe, currently at the bottom of the table with only three points, will be desperate for a victory after his recent 2-2 draw against Benin Republic. The Warriors, who are two points from Lesotho in fourth place, arrived in Uyo after traveling for the first time through Lagos.
FIRST LEG MEETING: A adjusted contest
The first section between both sides of November 19, 2023 ended in a 1-1 draw. Zimbabwe took an early advantage through Walter Musona’s free kick, before Kelechi Iheanacho equalized from the penalty point for Nigeria.
With the Super Eagles now under the new chief coach Eric Chelle, the team will aim at a very improved performance and a vital victory at home.
Party details: time and where to see
The match is scheduled for Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. The start is scheduled for the 5 pm Nigeria time, with live coverage available in DSTV and Startiles.
While the Super Eagles press to keep their hopes of the World Cup alive, fans await a strong performance and the three points against Zimbabwe.
