The final 2026 World Cup qualifiers showdown takes place on Tuesday night. Nigeria, South Africa, and the Benin Republic will fight for the sole Group C ticket to the FIFA World Cup.
After nine games, Benin leads with 17 points, South Africa follows with 15, and the Super Eagles trails with 14. All matches will begin at 5 p.m. Nigerian time, with South Africa hosting Rwanda and Nigeria facing Benin.
Nigeria can qualify if they defeat Gernot Rohr’s team and South Africa draws or loses to Rwanda. A convincing win will strengthen the Super Eagles’ 2026 World Cup qualifiers hopes.
Only the Group C leader will earn a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup, making Tuesday’s games crucial for all three nations.
