Super Eagles Set To Fly to Zanzibar For Tanzania AFCON rematch

Nigeria’s Super Eagles are set to travel to Zanzibar on Sunday for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Tanzania.

Head coach Éric Chelle and his team will leave Victor Attah International Airport on a chartered flight for their Matchday Four game against the Taifa Stars.

This trip comes after Nigeria’s strong 3-1 win over Tanzania at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday, which improved their standing in Group L.

The Super Eagles will now play Tanzania again, this time away at the Amman Stadium in Zanzibar. Another win could bring them closer to qualifying for the tournament.

Chelle’s team hopes to build on their strong second-half showing in Uyo, where substitute Tolu Arokodare scored twice to secure the win.

Alhassan Yusuf put Nigeria ahead early, but Tanzania equalised through Alphonce Msanga. Arokodare’s two goals then sealed a 3-1 victory for the hosts.

The Super Eagles aim to carry their confidence into Tuesday’s match as they look to beat the Taifa Stars again.

Nigeria are currently second in Group L with six points from three games, just one point behind leaders Guinea-Bissau.

A win in Zanzibar would boost their chances of qualifying and increase the pressure on their group rivals.
