Super Eagles Head Coach, Finidi George has made three changes to his starting line-up for tonight’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture against Benin Republic.
Chippa United’s Stanley Nwabali will keep his position in goal after his impressive performance in last Friday’s 1–1 draw with South Africa.
Finidi has also opted for the same backline of Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, Benjamin Tanimu and Calvin Bassey.
