“Expectation is very high, but we will not allow anything to distract us. We will remain focused, determined, and dedicated,” the skipper declared.
His words came alongside a strong message from head coach Éric Chelle, who made it clear that the clash is a “must-win” for the Super Eagles B after their opening defeat to Senegal.
“If you watched the game against Senegal, you’d know we didn’t deserve to lose — it was one mistake that cost us. We have worked on that mistake, and the game we must win is this one against Sudan,” Chelle said, pointing to the team’s five-week intensive training as proof of their readiness.
With both sides still hunting their first victory, tomorrow’s match at Amaan Stadium is set to be a high-stakes battle that could define Nigeria’s CHAN 2024 journey.
Sports247 is bringing live updates from Zanzibar, with the trip made possible through the vital support of Showtime, a key partner ensuring full coverage of the Super Eagles B’s campaign.
