Coach Finidi George will have his first major test as the coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria when South Africa visits Uyo for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers matchday three.
Finidi George who was appointed the coach of the Super Eagles in April 2024, is coming into the team after they have recorded two draws, 1-1 against Zimbabwe, and 1-1 against Lesotho, in their first two World Cup qualification games.
These two unexpected draws have left the Eagles in the third spot in Group C, a point below second-place South Africa, and two points below first-place Rwanda.
Coach Finidi George and his boys are condemned to beat South Africa to stand a better chance of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
