Harare, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe’s head coach, Michael Nees, has emphasized that Nigeria’s Super Eagles have immense potential, far beyond their current standing in Group C of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria is set to face Zimbabwe shortly after their match against Rwanda when the qualifiers resume in March. The last encounter between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw.
In an interview with CAFonline, Nees described Nigeria as one of the strongest teams in African football.
“Nigeria is a wounded lion and therefore very dangerous. Their potential far exceeds their current position in the group. When you look at African footballers, Nigeria remains one of the top teams,” Nees remarked.
The German tactician also outlined his approach for the qualifiers.
“We have a challenge, but we take it step by step, match by match, and even training by training. There are so many variables in football, and we’ll approach it wisely,” Nees added.
The Super Eagles will be keen to demonstrate their full capabilities as they aim to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
