He also acknowledged the challenge posed by Benin, who are also competing for a spot in the finals, but emphasized, “Our goal is to secure three points from this match.”
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has appointed Senegalese referee Issa Sy to officiate the match, which will kick off at 7:00 PM CIV time (8:00 PM Nigeria time].
