2026 WCQ: Nigeria vs Zimbabwe – Date, Time, Where to Watch
The road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup is heating up, and next up is a must-win clash between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Zimbabwe’s Warriors. It’s all or nothing as both teams battle for a crucial three points that could shake up the Group C standings. Buckle up, folks—this is going to be a banger!
Super Eagles Ready to Soar
Nigeria is flying high after a solid 2-0 win over Rwanda, with Victor Osimhen proving once again why he’s the man of the moment. That victory gave us a much-needed confidence boost, but let’s be real—we’re still playing catch-up in the standings, trailing Rwanda, Benin Republic, and South Africa. This game is our chance to turn things around!
Zimbabwe’s Fight to Stay Alive
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, has had a rough ride. Their last game ended in a 2-2 draw with Benin, leaving them stuck at the bottom of the table. They may be struggling, but they’re not backing down. After making their way from Lagos to Uyo, they’ll be looking to pull off an upset.
Flashback: What Happened Last Time?
When these two teams met on November 19, 2023, it was a tight contest. Zimbabwe struck first with a stunning free-kick from Walter Musona, catching our then-goalkeeper Francis Uzoho off guard. But Kelechi Iheanacho saved the day, slotting in a penalty to secure a 1-1 draw. Now, with a fresh approach under new head coach Eric Chelle, we’re gunning for all three points this time around!
