Scheduled to take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday, the fixture holds significant importance for the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup dreams.

“There is no pressure, we just take the game one at a time, we just have to put ourselves together and try to win the game (against South Africa), then move on to the next game against Benin in Abidjan,” he told the Super Eagles media.

Victory over South Africa will boost their chances of progressing in the qualifying rounds for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

“All we need now is to win this game and fight hard to qualify for the World Cup. Everybody is training hard and looking forward to the game,” The goalkeeper concluded.
