Two crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in Group C kick off this Friday from 5 PM, as Nigeria travels to Lesotho hoping to keep their qualification dreams alive.

The Super Eagles currently sit third in the group with 11 points, trailing Benin Republic and South Africa. For coach Eric Chelle’s men, only a win will do against a Lesotho side that previously shocked Nigeria at home.

In the other Group C fixture, South Africa aims to maintain their push for the sole automatic qualification spot despite a three-point deduction by FIFA. Bafana Bafana face rivals Zimbabwe, hoping to reclaim the top spot in the table.
