Uyo, Nigeria – Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has declared Nigeria’s readiness to dictate play when they face Zimbabwe in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.
The veteran defender, speaking to Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) media, stressed that the team will replicate their dominant display from Friday’s match against Rwanda in Kigali.
“We’re focused on controlling the game, creating chances, and converting them. The three points are non-negotiable as we push for World Cup qualification,” Ekong asserted.
With Nigeria currently in strong contention for a spot in the expanded 48-team 2026 World Cup, the Super Eagles are taking a game-by-game approach to secure maximum points. A victory against Zimbabwe would solidify their position in the qualifying group.
