Super Eagles caretaker coach Augustine Eguavoen said the team is determined to make a good start to their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

The Super Eagles will kick-start their campaign with a home clash against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Saturday.

Eguavoen said the Super Eagles will go all out for a win against the Cheetahs.

“Our objective is clear: to pick the six points in both matches. The players know this and are committed to accomplishing this. The matches will not be easy; no qualifying game can be taken for granted because all the teams want to play in the finals. However, we have spoken to the players and all of us are on the same page,” he told thenff.com.

“Starting with the match against Benin Republic on Saturday, nobody is mentioning anything about revenge. Our goal is three points, and then we aim for another three points in Kigali on Tuesday that will put us in good stead for qualification.”
