The Super Eagles have landed in Monrovia, Liberia, ahead of their crucial 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone. The players and officials arrived in the city for the game on Saturday morning, with the three-time African champions looking to secure a place at the AFCON finals in Cote d’Ivoire.
The Super Eagles need just a point from the game to seal their place in the tournament, and they will be hoping to put in a strong performance against their opponents. Jose Peseiro’s side currently occupy second position in the Group A table with nine points, just one point behind leaders Guinea-Bissau, who have played a game more.
The game promises to be a tough encounter, with both teams desperate to secure victory. Nigeria defeated the Leone Stars 2-1 in the reverse fixture last June, but they will be aware that their opponents will be looking to exact revenge and secure their own place in the AFCON finals.
The Super Eagles will have a feel of the Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium, the venue of the game, later today. They will be hoping to acclimatize quickly and get a good sense of the playing surface, which could play a crucial role in the outcome of the match.
The game is set to kick off at 5pm Nigeria time, and fans around the world will be eagerly anticipating what promises to be a thrilling encounter between two talented sides. With so much at stake, both teams will be looking to give their all and secure a vital victory that could make all the difference in their quest to qualify for the AFCON finals.
