MTN Nigeria has expressed support for Nigeria’s Super Eagles in the team’s quest to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

The Super Eagles will play their next match against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic on Monday, June 10, 2024, at the Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, after a 1-1 draw against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa at the Godwin Akpabio Stadium on Friday, June 7.
