Nigeria’s Super Eagles have been drawn in Group C alongside South Africa, Benin Republic, Rwanda, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The draws ceremony was held on Thursday in Abidjan, Cote’d’Ivoire.
The West African side missed out on the last year’s World Cup in Qatar having lost to the Black Stars of Ghana in the playoffs.
The Eagles’ tie with West-African neighbours, Benin Republic will be the first against former manager, Gernot Rohr since he was relieved from his position in 2021.
