Nigeria's Super Eagles have landed in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, for the mouthwatering 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against the Benin Republic, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Recall that a cracked windscreen of the chartered ValueJet Airline aircraft that was conveying the Super Eagles’ delegation from Polokwane in South Africa to Uyo delayed the arrival of the players and officials in the Akwa Ibom State capital.

Finally, the team arrived in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, at 8:05 a.m. on Sunday morning.

A win against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in Uyo on Tuesday, and failure by South Africa to beat Rwanda, will see the Super Eagles top the group and qualify automatically to the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals to be hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico.
