Nigeria’s high commissioner backs Super Eagles triumph over South Africa

Nigeria’s High Commissioner to South Africa, His Excellency Tope Ajayi, has charged the Super Eagles to do their best and secure three points in today’s clash against South Africa.

The two sides go head-to-head this evening in Bloemfontein, in a crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier Group C tie.

“I have the confidence that we will win, and many South Africans also believe that Nigeria will win.

We should go out there and play with gusto, confidence and courage, and refuse to be intimidated by anything.

“When the Super Falcons came here to play the Banyana Banyana, I told them before the game that I could see them returning to the Olympics after 16 years, and they did.

Now, I am telling you that I am seeing you at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and it will be so,” he said.

Today’s game will kick off at 6 p.m. South Africa time (5 p.m. in Nigeria).
