The 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matchday four encounter between the Benin Republic national team and the Super Eagles of Nigeria, has been moved to Abidjan following the inability of the Benin Football Federation to provide a suitable playing ground to host the game.
Pundits have remarked that it is a return to familiar territory for the Super Eagles, who were based in Abidjan during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and played three of their seven games at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium.
The Super Eagles will host the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a matchday three encounter before taking on the Squirrels.
