Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying rounds this month, South Africa’s head coach, Hugo Broos, has emphasized the team’s advantage over Nigeria and the Benin Republic. Broos claims that because the Super Eagles can only have 17 points if they win their next two games, the Bafana Bafana has an advantage over Nigeria and the Benin Republic in the competition for a 2026 World Cup ticket. The Belgian strategist also pointed out that the Benin Republic has lost both of their previous matches against Rwanda and NigeriaBroos told reporters during a news conference prior to South Africa’s pivotal match against Zimbabwe on Friday: “That game on Friday is maybe the most important.” You have 17 points if we win the game. Nigeria can only have 17 points if they win both of their games; Rwanda can have the same number. However, Benin’s two games against Nigeria and Rwanda prevent them from winning, thus our victory on Friday is crucial.
