Super Eagles face tough test as they continue bid to reach World Cup

Victor Osimhen and Nigeria embark continue their bid to reach for the 2026 World Cup as they face Gabon in a qualifying play-off. After being pipped to top spot in their qualifying group by South Africa, the Super Eagles have entered the play-offs knowing victory today will book a meeting with either DR Congo or Cameroon.

Should Nigeria win that fixture then they would secure a place in a six-team inter-confederation play-off to be held in Mexico in March, with one qualification spot on the line. First up for Nigeria is a meeting with Gabon on neutral ground in Morocco. This camp has been beset by controversy after players and staff boycotted training ahead of this all-or-nothing match over a pay dispute, which has since been settled.

It was far from ideal preparation and Gabon, who narrowly missed out to Ivory Coast for automatic qualification and have former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang available for selection after serving a one-match suspension, will be out to take advantage.
