Story summary

On November 17, 2023, the Nigerian national football team, known as the Super Eagles, faced Guinea-Bissau in a qualifier for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Nigeria is led by coach Eric Chelle and are strong favorites to top their group, which also includes AFCON co-hosts Tanzania and Madagascar. Star striker Victor Osimhen missed the match due to a groin injury sustained during his club duties with Galatasaray.

Nigeria previously beat Madagascar in their first qualifier on November 10, with debutant George Ilenikhena scoring an equalizer against Madagascar despite Nigeria struggling initially. Moses Usor then scored the winning goal, securing Nigeria's victory. The team aims to build on their third-place finish at the last AFCON held in Morocco earlier this year and strive for a fourth continental title.

The match against Guinea-Bissau is crucial as it sets the tone for Nigeria’s qualification campaign towards the 2027 AFCON tournament.
