Nigeria secures 2021 AFCON ticket

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have qualified for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with two games to spare.

The three-time African champions picked the ticket after Sierra Leone were held to a goalless draw by Lesotho in Maseru on Saturday afternoon.

The result leaves the Gernot Rohr’s boys with 8 points — 4 ahead of third placed Sierra Leone.

The Eagles will battle the Squirrels by 5 pm on Saturday evening at the Stade Charles de Gaulle in Porto Novo.

They will then take on the Crocodiles of Lesotho on Tuesday at the Teslim Balogun stadium in Lagos.
