2026 WCQ: Super Eagles want maximum points against Zimbabwe — Troost-Ekong

2026 WCQ: Super Eagles want maximum points against Zimbabwe -- Troost-Ekong

William Troost-Ekong says the Super Eagles will go all out for a win when they take on Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture.

Eric Chelle’s side will host the Warriors at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo next week Tuesday.

“We read somewhere that the Zimbabweans are being motivated to come to Uyo and get a result. They should forget it,” Troost-Ekong told thenff.com.

“We are hugely motivated by the ambition to play at the FIFA World Cup. Apart from myself and Alex (Iwobi) and perhaps a couple others, who were part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, this generation is hungry to play at the highest level. We want to make Nigeria proud and at the same time, do ourselves proud.”

The Super Eagles revived their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup with a 2-0 away win over Rwanda in Kigali on Friday.

Nigeria currently occupy fourth position in Group C with six points from five matches.
