Super Eagles AFCON 2027 Qualifiers to Air Live on DStv, GOtv
The Super Eagles begin their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign with a crucial Group L double-header against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau within the next five days. The Super Eagles
The Nigeria national football team, known as the Super Eagles, are set to commence their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying journey with two significant matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau. These crucial Group L fixtures are scheduled to take place within the next five days. The Super Eagles are scheduled to host Madagascar on the same day at 5:00 pm, followed by a trip to Guinea-Bissau for the second match on Tuesday, also at 5:00 pm.
Nigeria's journey towards AFCON 2027 is highly anticipated, considering they finished third at the 2025 AFCON tournament in Morocco. They had previously reached the final edition in Côte d'Ivoire, but their inability to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a challenging start to the qualifiers adds a layer of importance to these upcoming matches.
Both the Nigeria vs Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria matches will be broadcast live on SuperSport, accessible to DStv Access and GOtv Value subscribers. The match against Guinea-Bissau will be available on SS Pop-up (GOtv Channel 59) and the Nigeria vs Madagascar fixture will be broadcast on SS La Liga (DStv Channel 204).
With Tanzania already secured a spot as a co-host for AFCON 2027, the remaining qualification place in Group L will be contested fiercely among Nigeria, Madagascar, and Guinea-Bissau. The Super Eagles are determined to avoid a slow start similar to their previous campaign and aim to establish a strong footing early in their pursuit of qualification.
