Super Eagles Take On Benin Republic, Live on GOtv
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will begin their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against The Cheetahs of Benin Republic, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Saturday, with the aim of getting revenge against their visitors.
The Cheetahs, led by former Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, stunned the Super Eagles in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with a 2-1 victory, three months ago. The defeat, which was the first for Nigeria in a competitive match against their West African neighbours, led to the departure of George Finidi, as the Super Eagles’ coach.
Super Eagles will have big stars such as Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, and Victor Boniface, available for this encounter. You can watch the match live on DStv Ch 204 and GOtv ch 62, at 5 pm on Saturday.
Now in his fourth spell as Super Eagles coach, Austin Eguavoen, said he’s confident of victory over Benin Republic and Rwanda. “I have been called to salvage the situation. I’m very confident we will scale through these two games and beyond. We have the players, we have the material, we have the personnel, and we have the support—we have everything. All I ask for is commitment from everybody towards the same goals and objectives.
The Super Eagles are paired in group D alongside Rwanda and Libya who played a 1-1 draw on Wednesday. The Super Eagles will also travel to Rwanda on Tuesday for their second group D match.
