AFCON 2025 Qualifier: Super Eagles Must Defeat Benin Republic – Simon

Moses Simon emphasized the importance of the Super Eagles starting their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign with a victory.

The West Africans are set to host their neighbors, Benin Republic, in their first match at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Saturday.
