2026 World Cup (Qualifiers): Benin vs Lesotho, South Africa vs Nigeria, Tuesday’s schedule

Matchday eight of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers wraps up this Tuesday with several games across Africa. No fewer than 15 matches are on the slate, including the Nigeria – South Africa showdown.

Group C leaders Bafana Bafana are aiming for a win to move closer to qualifying for the finals. Facing them, the Super Eagles need all three points to keep their hopes of booking their ticket to the finals alive.

Another game in this group is the duel between Benin and Lesotho. Second behind the South Africans, the Cheetahs can’t afford a slip-up against the already-eliminated Likuena.
