The Super Eagles face the Crocodiles of Lesotho today, Friday, October 10, 2025, in their penultimate 2026 World Cup qualifier, a game that could reshape Group C’s race. Kick-off is 5:00 p.m. (Nigeria time) at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa.

The match will be shown live on SuperSport Football. You can also follow real-time updates via major Nigerian sports outlets.

Nigeria start the day third in Group C on 11 points after eight games ,three behind joint leaders Benin Republic and South Africa. The table tightened recently when South Africa were docked three points and three goals for fielding an ineligible player against Lesotho in March 2025, a ruling that reopened Nigeria’s route to the playoffs.

Why this fixture matters

With only two rounds left, every point now carries extra weight. Lesotho are playing their “home” tie in South Africa due to stadium compliance issues, while the other Group C fixtures — Benin vs Rwanda and South Africa vs Zimbabwe — could also swing the standings. A win keeps Nigeria firmly in contention heading into the final matchday.

The sides last met on November 16, 2023, in Uyo, and it finished 1–1 — a reminder that nothing comes easy at this stage of qualifying.

Match details at a glance: Nigeria vs Lesotho • 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier (Africa) • Venue: New Peter Mokaba Stadium, Polokwane • Date: Friday, Oct 10, 2025 • Time: 5:00 p.m. WAT • TV: SuperSport Football.
