The Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium, in the heart of the Ivorian capital Abidjan, will host a decisive clash this Tuesday evening between Benin and Lesotho, as part of matchday eight of the African qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Benin will approach this fixture with confidence after their recent 1-0 victory over Zimbabwe, looking to strengthen their position in Group C.

This Group C encounter will take place on Tuesday, September 9, at 19:00 GMT.
