AFCON Qualifiers: We’re Ready To Beat Benin Republic – Eguavoen
Super Eagles caretaker coach Augustine Eguavoen has affirmed that his team has arrived in Abidjan with the goal of defeating the Cheetahs of Benin Republic.
While a single point would be sufficient to secure Nigeria’s spot in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco, Eguavoen stated that the team is focused on taking all three points from the match.

“We’ll fight for every ball and for every point, and that’s what we want to do tomorrow (today),”he told the Super Eagles media.
“In respect to that, Benin is not a pushover, but we will work hard to make sure we achieve our objective.”
Eguavoen acknowledged that Cheetahs head coach Gernot Rohr, who led the Super Eagles for nearly six years, is well-acquainted with the Nigerian team.
However, the former defender maintained that they are well-prepared and know what to expect from their opponent.

“We worked with Gernot Rohr for so many years. He was our head coach, and he’s a very good one, no doubt. He knows us in and out, he’s part of us, but we know him inside out as well,” he added.
“We know what he’s capable of, and he knows Nigeria is a country you don’t toil with. We respect them, and we’ll play with the mindset that we come into games with and that’s to win, but it’s easier said than done.”
