Super Eagles captain, William Ekong has revealed that they are braced up for the game against Benin Republic with the maximum three points as their sole objective ahead of the 2025 AFON Morocco qualifying game, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
“The stadium is a familiar one for us and we have good memories from the AFCON. We will rather focus on the positive results we have taken away from here and work hard for another good day in the office on Thursday.
“It is not going to be easy because the Beninoise are also chasing a ticket to the final tournament. However, our objective is clear: three points on the night,” Captain Ekong said on Tuesday.
The Super Eagles need only one point from Thursday’s clash to be sure of a ticket to the 35th AFCON at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny stadium, scheduled for Morocco 21st December 2025 – 18th January 2026.
