Super Eagles Touch Down in Uyo, Ready to Battle Zimbabwe in World Cup Qualifier
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have officially arrived in Uyo ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matchday six encounter against the Warriors of Zimbabwe.
After their impressive 2-0 victory over the Amavubi of Rwanda in Kigali on Friday night, Éric Chelle’s squad is brimming with confidence as they prepare to continue their winning streak. The Nigerian team and their officials landed at the Victor Attah International Airport on Saturday afternoon and immediately moved into the luxurious Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene.
According to reports, the Super Eagles will hold a training session at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium’s training pitch on Sunday, as they finalize preparations for their clash against Zimbabwe scheduled for next week Tuesday.
Opinion: Will The Super Eagles Maintain Their Winning Momentum?
The recent win over Rwanda highlighted the Super Eagles’ attacking strength, particularly with Victor Osimhen’s incredible form. But the focus now shifts to the Warriors of Zimbabwe, who are known for their physical style of play and determination.
While the team’s preparations seem solid and their spirits high, there’s always the unpredictable element of football. Uyo has been a familiar fortress for the Super Eagles, but they must not underestimate their visitors if they wish to keep their World Cup dreams alive.
Also, the tactical prowess of Coach Éric Chelle will be put to the test once again. Will he make changes to the squad or stick with the winning formula?
