On June 7, Nigeria and South Africa will play a pivotal 2026 World Cup qualifying match at Uyo, Akwa Ibom.
On Day 3 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series, the Bafana Bafana and Super Eagles square off at Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
With a two-point lead from their past two games and an understanding of their advantage against Bafana Bafana, the African vice-champions are optimistic about earning three points on the day, which might propel them to the summit of the pool.
The 34th Africa Cup of Nations saw the Super Eagles defeat Bafana to advance to the third-place match on February 7 at the Stade de la Paix in Bouake.
The Bafana were defeated in the penalty shootout despite pulling even late in the match, when Nigerian goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who is residing in South Africa, saved two of the Bafana’s kicks.
