Super Eagles interim coach Augustine Eguavoen has traveled to Belgium for a medical check-up ahead of the team’s crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier, as confirmed by SCORENigeria. The decision to go for a medical check-up comes just before the highly anticipated match against Benin Republic in the AFCON qualifiers. Eguavoen is expected to join the Super Eagles camp in Abidjan directly after his medical consultation, where the team is preparing for an important clash.
The Super Eagles are set to face the Cheetahs of Benin Republic next Thursday at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The match is crucial for Nigeria as they are currently leading Group D with 10 points from four matches, holding a four-point advantage over second-place Benin.
The Super Eagles' camp will officially open for players and staff on Monday, providing a few days for preparation before the big game.
After the match against Benin Republic, the Super Eagles will return to Nigeria, where they are scheduled to host the Amavubi of Rwanda at Uyo’s Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Monday, November 14. A draw in their upcoming clash with Benin would secure Nigeria’s qualification for the AFCON 2025.
