Nigeria Super Eagles is likely to return to Ivory Coast months after losing the AFCON title to the Elephants of Ivory Coast.
This time it will be a World Cup qualifiers encounter between Nigeria and Benin whose Stadium has been removed from list of the Stadiums qualified to host international Matches.
Benin General Mathieu Kérékou stadium (GMK) is not approved by FIFA ahead of the match day three and four encounters of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The General Mathieu Kérékou stadium was renovation in 2020 and s hosted the 2021 final of the CAF Confederations Cup between Raja Casablanca and JS Kabylie.
The disapproval of the stadium means Benin will have to look for an alternative stadium Ivory Coast to host Nigeria on Match Day four of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria will take on the Bafana Bafana in Uyo and then confront Benin Republic away from home in the international window of June 3–11, in Match Days 3 and 4 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
