Super Eagles of Nigeria captain William Troost-Ekong is confident of Nigeria's chances against Benin in their AFCON 2025 qualifier.

William Troost-Ekong believes the Super Eagles can use their familiarity with the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan to their advantage as they take on Benin Republic in the AFCON 2025 qualifier on Thursday.

The Super Eagles are one point away from securing qualification, but Ekong is determined to get all three points in Abidjan.

Nigeria played three matches at this venue during AFCON 2023, finishing with a 100% win record, and the skipper believes that familiarity can play a role.

“However, our objective is clear: three points on the night.”

The match is slated for 8pm, WAT and you can find out more here.
