The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have
stated that the Super Eagles have no other
option but to win their remaining two
AFCON qualifiers including Tuesday’s clash
in Egypt to qualify for Gabon 2017 in the
wake of the shock withdrawal of Chad.
Egypt lead Group G on seven points, two
points ahead of second-placed Nigeria.
Tanzania are third on four points.
But on account of Chad withdrawal, all their
previous results will be nullified and as such
Egypt will remain top on four points,
Nigeria have two points and Tanzania on a
point.
A win for Nigeria in Alexandria on Tuesday
night will therefore see them leapfrog Egypt
to top spot of a group that can now only
produce one qualifier for AFCON 2017.
“We don’t have an escape route than to win
our remaining matches, then we will be
home and dry, and this includes beating
Egypt in Alexandria on Tuesday,” said NFF
spokesman Ademola Olajire.
Top NFF officials addressed the Eagles at
their Kaduna hotel Sunday afternoon and
warned them of the grave implications not
winning in Egypt.
Nigeria were due to travel to Chad in June
in continuation of the AFCON qualifiers
before the country’s shock withdrawal on
Sunday.
