The Nigerian Super Eagles are set to continue their pursuit of a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a crucial Group C qualifier against Lesotho on Friday, October 10, 2025, in Polokwane, South Africa, according to Soccernet.ng.
This encounter promises to be fiercely competitive as both teams aim to secure vital points in the CAF qualification race, with Nigeria especially eager to bounce back after a sluggish start.
Initially slated to be hosted in Lesotho, the fixture has been shifted to the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane due to the Lesotho Crocodiles’ home venue failing to meet FIFA’s hosting criteria.
Coach Eric Chelle has announced his 23-man squad for the upcoming October qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin.
