The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between Nigeria's Super Eagles and Benin in their opening match for the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

This highly anticipated game marks the second meeting between the two teams in just four months, following Benin's stunning 2-1 victory in their June World Cup qualifier.

Nigeria's Super Eagles are looking to bounce back from their previous defeat, and they're getting a significant boost with the return of key players Victor Osimhen and William Troost-Ekong. 

Osimhen, known for his exceptional goal-scoring skills, and Troost-Ekong, a rock-solid defender, are expected to make a significant impact in the game.

Leading the team is interim coach Augustine Eguavoen, who took the reins after a failed deal with Bruno Labbadia. 

Eguavoen is determined to lead the Super Eagles to victory, saying, "We will not rest until we achieve our goal."

The game is scheduled to take place on September 7th at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, with Egyptian referee Amin Mohammed Omar officiating the match. 

The Super Eagles are eager to start their journey to Morocco 2025 on a positive note, and with their star players back in the lineup, they're looking to soar to new heights.

Will the Super Eagles rise to the challenge and claim victory, or will Benin repeat their previous success? The stage is set for an electrifying match that's sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
