2026 World Cup Fever: Lesotho’s Bold Plan to Outplay Super Eagles and Beyond
Lesotho’s national football team, Likuena, is gearing up for a challenging encounter with the Super Eagles in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Despite recognizing Nigeria as one of Africa’s top footballing nations, Lesotho’s head coach, Leslie Notsi, remains optimistic about his team’s performance.
He acknowledged that it would be tough to face a team of Nigeria’s caliber, especially considering their recent World Cup appearances and the strength of their squad.
However, he expressed confidence that his team would give their best, using the match as an opportunity to gain valuable experience against some of the continent’s best players.
The match is set to take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, and Nigeria is heavily favored to win.
Former coach Samson Unuanel also predicted a Super Eagles victory, highlighting the motivation of Nigerian players following their missed 2022 World Cup qualification​.
