Nigeria will host Benin Republic in a do-or-die final matchday clash of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Confederation of African Football CAF qualifiers, with the Super Eagles determined to snatch direct qualification from Group C leaders Benin.
Benin currently sit three points ahead of Nigeria and hold a superior goal difference, making Tuesday's encounter in Uyo a must-win for the three-time African champions.
A victory would keep Nigeria's hopes alive: either as group winners or as one of the best runners-up eligible for the intercontinental playoff in November for a potential 10th African slot at next year's tournament.
