Welcome to the live stream of the crucial World Cup qualifier between the Squirrels of Benin and the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire.

It's the fourth game of the qualifying series for both countries as they look to book their tickets to the USA, Canada, and Mexico for the 2026 World Cup.

Benin Republic enters this game on the back of a 1-0 win against Rwanda in their last match, while Nigeria were held to another disappointing draw against South Africa in Uyo.

The 2023 AFCON finalists, Nigeria, began their campaign with a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Lesotho, followed by another 1-1 draw away to Zimbabwe in their second encounter.

Last Friday’s 1-1 stalemate with the Bafana Bafana of South Africa marked their third draw in the group.

Coach Finidi George and his side are under enormous pressure as they sit in 5th position in Group C and are in desperate need of a crucial win against Gernot Rohr's Benin team.

However, there is good news for Nigerian fans: the Super Eagles have a superior head-to-head record against Benin Republic, having lost just once in 16 meetings, with 13 wins and one draw.

The game kicks off at 5:00 pm Nigerian time. Stay tuned for live streaming of the game below:
