South Africa and Nigeria will compete in a 2026 World Cup qualifier, with important details provided on how and when to watch.

South Africa vs Nigeria: Match Information

South Africa is close to securing a spot in the 2026 World Cup. The team has won five of their last seven matches, drawn once, and had one loss, accumulating 16 points and leading the group. They have a five-point advantage over the second-place team and six points over third place. With only three matches left in the qualifiers, their chances of reaching the World Cup look promising.

Nigeria, on the other hand, has faced challenges during their qualifying campaign. Currently in third place with 10 points, the Super Eagles recently defeated Rwanda 1-0 but previously drew against Zimbabwe and lost to Benin. They are just one point away from the second-place team, but Nigerian fans are concerned as the second-place position may not guarantee qualification.
