Captain William Troost-Ekong has emphasized the critical importance of Nigeria’s upcoming World Cup qualifying match against Lesotho, describing it as a must-win game for the Super Eagles. Speaking ahead of the encounter scheduled for October 10, 2025, in Polokwane, South Africa, Troost-Ekong appealed for full commitment and focus from his teammates.

The Super Eagles currently sit third in Group C, trailing group leaders Benin Republic and South Africa, with only two matches left in the qualifying campaign. A victory over Lesotho is essential to keep Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup hopes alive, with the team needing all three points to close the gap at the top of the group.

Troost-Ekong acknowledged the challenge posed by Lesotho, who have previously held Nigeria to a 1-1 draw, but insisted that the Super Eagles must approach the match with urgency and professionalism. He also highlighted the return of key striker Victor Osimhen, expected to boost Nigeria’s attacking capabilities and help secure the much-needed win.

Coach Eric Chelle’s squad faces injury concerns with several first-team players sidelined, but Troost-Ekong remains optimistic about the team’s collective spirit and determination. The captain underlined that winning against Lesotho is pivotal for maintaining the momentum and hope of qualifying for the next World Cup.

The Super Eagles’ fate now depends heavily on securing victories in their remaining fixtures and favorable results elsewhere—a scenario Troost-Ekong and the team are fully committed to achieving.
