U23 AFCON 2027Q: Black Meteors wrap up preparations ahead of Libya showdown in Benghazi
Head coach Desmond Ofei supervised Tuesday evening's training session as the team fine-tuned preparations for the crucial first-leg encounter against the Mediterranean Knights.
The Super Eagles are set to face Tanzania in a crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Akwa Ibom State on Friday. The Group L fixture, scheduled to kick off at 5pm Nigerian time, aims to boost Nigeria's chances of qualifying for the continental tournament. The Super Eagles currently sit second in the group with three points, trailing Guinea-Bissau by three points who have won both of their matches.
Tanzania, who have already secured a spot in the 2027 tournament as co-hosts, occupy third position with one point. A win for Nigeria would take them to six points, providing a significant push in their quest to close the gap on Guinea-Bissau. The reverse fixture is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17.
