Eric Chelle Targets Six Points As Super Eagles Prepare For Tanzania Double-Header

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle is targeting six points from Nigeria’s two matches against Tanzania in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

Nigeria will face the Taifa Stars in matchdays three and four of the qualifying campaign as Chelle looks to improve the team’s chances of reaching the tournament.

The Franco-Malian coach has urged his players to work hard and win both matches to keep Nigeria’s qualification hopes alive.

“We must work hard in these two matches and do everything to win. It is important to sustain the hope, and all the players are in that mood to banish the memory of that defeat to Guinea-Bissau and show their true quality,” Chelle said.

The former Mali coach also expressed satisfaction with the atmosphere in the Super Eagles camp, saying the players are motivated and focused on getting maximum points.

“The spirit in camp is high and everyone is focused on achieving victory in both matches,” he added.

Nigeria will hope to use the two matches against Tanzania to revive their qualifying campaign and move closer to securing a place at the 2027 AFCON.
