AFCON Qualifiers: Super Eagles set for Zanzibar trip

The Super Eagles will travel to Zanzibar on Sunday ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match against Tanzania.

Head coach Éric Chelle and his players will leave Nigeria aboard a chartered flight from the Victor Attah International Airport.

Nigeria boosted their chances of qualifying for the tournament after defeating Tanzania 3-1 in Uyo on Friday night.

The Taifa Stars will host the return match at the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar, where the Super Eagles will aim to secure another victory.

A win will be important for Nigeria as they seek to improve their position in the race to qualify for the 2027 AFCON.

The Super Eagles are currently second in Group L with six points from three matches, just one point behind group leaders Guinea-Bissau.
