Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle, and his wards though have reservation on the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein, he said their focus is to beat South Africa Tuesday in their World Cup qualifier clash.
Speaking of the game Monday evening, Chelle noted that the team is excited, and the players are looking forward to the clash, which they must win and stay in contention for qualification for the 2026 world soccer fiesta they missed in 2022.
“We are happy to be here in South Africa,” he said. “I’m just a little surprised because tomorrow we’ll be playing in a rugby stadium, but I believe it’s a good stadium,” Chelle said.
“Tomorrow is a big game for us and for South Africa, so we want to play the best football we possibly can.
“We’re focused only on the game,” Chelle said firmly. “We’re not thinking about having played two days ago. My players are very motivated for this match.”
