Super Eagles’ Redemption Mission: Pesero’s Promise To Win Zimbabwe In WCQ In 2026

Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro brought his team back to work after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Lesotho. Nigeria must regain momentum in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers after failing to win in their last home game against Lesotho.

Having a chance to save themselves, Pesero and his team decided to prepare to face Zimbabwe at the Huye Stadium in Butare. The Portuguese master stated that he had no doubts and said that they would do whatever it took to win.

“We will respond strongly to Zimbabwe,” the former Saudi Arabia and Venezuela coach told a press conference.

“Our goal on Sunday is to win.”

The match, scheduled to kick off at 14:00 Nigerian time, is a decisive moment for the Super Eagles as they aim to overcome recent setbacks and strengthen their World Cup ambitions. Anticipation is building for this important tournament, and Peseiro’s announcement sets the stage for an exciting contest as the Super Eagles look to get back to winning ways towards the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
