The Super Eagles left Nigeria on Sunday morning for their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier second leg against Libya.
The team is set to face the Mediterranean Knights on matchday four of the qualifiers, as they continue their campaign to secure a spot in the upcoming tournament.
Originally, the Super Eagles were scheduled to fly into Tripoli and then travel by road to Benghazi; however, they decided to alter their plans to avoid unnecessary strain and ensure a smoother journey. This decision highlights the team's commitment to being in optimal condition for the match.
Instead, they boarded a chartered flight, with a brief stopover in Kano, before continuing to Benghazi. This route was chosen to minimize travel time and potential disruptions, allowing the players to focus on the upcoming clash.[/p>
The Super Eagles will play at the 10,000-capacity stadium in Benina, which is located just 10 kilometers from Benghazi. The stadium is expected to provide an exciting atmosphere for the match, with fans eager to support their teams.
This crucial match is set to kick off at 8 p.m. Nigeria time on Tuesday. Augustine Eguavoen’s men are hoping to maintain their clean slate in Group D and continue their impressive performance in the qualifiers.
Recall that the AFCON finalists secured a late 1-0 win against Libya in Uyo on Friday, a victory that has kept them at the top of their group. The team is looking to build on this momentum as they aim for qualification for the prestigious tournament, showcasing their strength and determination on the road to AFCON 2025.
