Zimbabwe's national soccer team landed in Lagos yesterday evening. They plan to travel to Uyo this morning for their match against Nigeria. The game happens on Tuesday as part of the qualifying rounds for the 2026 World Cup tournament. Both teams need a win badly as they fight for better standings.
The Warriors currently sit last in Group C after playing five games. They have earned just three points during their campaign. Their recent match ended with a 2-2 tie when they faced Benin at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. That game took place Thursday on South African soil since Zimbabwe plays home games there.
Nigeria looks much stronger after its recent victory against Rwanda. The Super Eagles won 2-0 at home yesterday, pushing their total to six points. This puts them ahead of Zimbabwe, but they still need many more wins. The Warriors hope to upset Nigeria despite their tough position in the standings.
The team plans light practice later today as players recover from travel. They will rest their bodies before shifting focus tomorrow. The coaching staff will then run tactical drills preparing for Tuesday's challenge. Every remaining match matters greatly for their slim qualifying hopes.
