Benin Republic Arrives in Uyo for Final Match Against Nigeria
The Benin Republic team arrived in Uyo on Saturday afternoon for their final group match against Nigeria, following a recent 1-0 win over Rwanda.
“At around 3:05 p.m. on Saturday, October 11, the Beninese delegation arrived at Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo, on a direct flight from Kigali, Rwanda, ahead of Tuesday’s match against Nigeria’s Super Eagles,” stated Edidiong Stephen, the Team Liaison Officer.
The team, led by former Nigeria Coach Gernot Rohr, is close to securing an automatic spot in Group C. A win will allow them to top the group, regardless of other matches. A draw could also suffice if South Africa loses points against Rwanda in their match. Currently, the Cheetahs are leading the group with 17 points, followed by South Africa with 15 points, and Nigeria in third place with 14 points.
As reported by CAF, Amin Mohamed Omar from Egypt will be the center referee, assisted by Mahmoud Abouelregal (Assistant Referee 1), Ahmed Tawfik Ali (Assistant Referee 2), and Mahmoud Moustafa Elbana (Fourth Official).
Group C remains competitive, with the final fixtures set to determine which teams advance, as Benin, Nigeria, and South Africa are all in contention for a World Cup spot. Excitement surrounds the upcoming matches in the group.
