The Super Eagles are set to hold their first and only training session at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein today, in preparation for their crucial FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Bafana Bafana. The session is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. South Africa time, which is 5 p.m. Nigerian time.
According to team media officer Promise Efoghe, the first 15 minutes of the training will be open to both the media and fans. The Nigerian team, led by coach Eric Chelle, arrived in Bloemfontein on Sunday and will be without their star forward, Victor Osimhen, who was ruled out of the match after sustaining an injury during the 1-0 victory over Rwanda last Saturday.
A delegation of 22 players made the trip for the high-stakes match, which will take place at the Toyota Stadium on Tuesday. This decisive clash is expected to be a pivotal moment in Group C, as both teams vie for a stronger position in the qualifying race for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
