The air crackles with anticipation in Abidjan as two African football giants, Nigeria and the host nation, Cote d’Ivoire, lock horns in a must-win clash today at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) at 6pm Nigerian time.
Both teams hold fond memories of their 2013 AFCON quarter-final encounter, where the Super Eagles soared to victory over the Les Elephants.
But today’s showdown holds a different kind of allure – a place in the knockout stages. The match will air on Sports Premium, channel 252 or 246, on StarTimes as well as on StarTimes-ON mobile app.
Nigeria, who stumbled to a 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea in their opening match, desperately need a win to reignite their title aspirations. Equatorial Guinea, meanwhile, will look to build on their surprise result and upset the apple cart again against Guinea-Bissau at 3:00 PM, also on the Sports Premium channel.
