The Super Eagles of Nigeria will resume their push for a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup when they take on Lesotho on Friday, October 10, 2025, in Polokwane, South Africa, Soccernet.ng reports.
The encounter promises to be fierce, with both teams—especially the Super Eagles—desperate for vital points in Group C of the CAF qualifiers.
Originally slated to be held in Lesotho, the match was moved to the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane after FIFA deemed the Crocodiles’ home ground unfit to host international fixtures.
