AFCON Qualifiers: Super Eagles ready to battle Benin and Rwanda

Alex Iwobi has affirmed the Super Eagles’ determination to secure a spot in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles will start their pursuit of a spot in the competition with a match against Benin Republic next month.

The match against the Cheetahs will take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Saturday, September 7.

The West Africans will then travel to Kigali to keep a date with Rwanda three days later.

The Super Eagles have won once in four outings since their final clash with hosts Cote d’Ivoire at the AFCON 2023 finals.

Iwobi reckoned the team will fight hard to win the upcoming games.

“There’s still a lot to fight for; we have much to prove. We know the quality we have in this team, and we need to show it consistently for Nigeria, just like we do for our club sides,” Iwobi declared in a short video posted on the Super Eagles X account.

“The fans expect a lot from us, and we expect a lot from ourselves. We’re ready to get the points we need to qualify.”
