The Lesotho Football Association has announced that tickets for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match between the Crocodiles of Lesotho and the Super Eagles of Nigeria are now available for purchase. The match, scheduled for Friday, will take place at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa.
According to the LFA’s official website, tickets can be bought at Computicket outlets in both Lesotho and South Africa. This arrangement has been necessitated by the fact that Lesotho does not have a stadium that meets FIFA’s standards for hosting international matches, prompting the team to play their home games in South Africa.
The Crocodiles, led by coach Leslie Notsi, are no longer in contention for a spot at the 2026 World Cup but will be seeking to restore pride in their encounter against the Super Eagles. The two teams previously met on matchday one, resulting in a 1-1 draw at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Nigeria.
The sale of tickets for this match indicates the growing excitement and anticipation among football fans in the region. With the match just around the corner, supporters of both teams are expected to turn out in large numbers to cheer on their favorite teams.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign has been an intense and highly competitive process, with teams from across the continent vying for a limited number of spots at the tournament. Although Lesotho’s chances of qualifying are now over, the team will be looking to finish their campaign on a high note and give their fans something to cheer about.
As the match approaches, fans can expect an exciting encounter between two teams with a lot to play for. The Crocodiles will be seeking to cause an upset and beat the Super Eagles, while the Nigerian team will be looking to secure a win and boost their chances of qualifying for the World Cup. With the stage set for an thrilling match, fans will be eagerly awaiting the kickoff on Friday.
