Nigeria’s Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, has named William Troost-Ekong and Ademola Lookman in the starting lineup for today’s crucial World Cup qualifier against South Africa.
Also, Troost-Ekong returns to central defense to provide experience, while Lookman, fresh from a strong club season, is expected to bring pace and attacking threat. The match is vital for both teams’ chances of qualifying for FIFA 2026, with Nigeria aiming to maintain dominance over South Africa, who currently top the group under coach Hugo Broos.
Nigeria, under pressure after mixed results, needs a win to keep their qualification hopes alive, while South Africa seeks to continue their strong form and possibly cause an upset.
