'We cannot afford to let ourselves down against Bafana'

Nigeria's Kenneth Omeruo says that Nigeria must focus on their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin.

Nigeria stand-in captain Kenneth Omeruo has reflected on his side's friendlies, a 2-1 win over Ghana and a 2-0 defeat to Mali, during the most recent international break. "In the end, they took their chances, and we failed to take ours. That's football. You just have to take the chances that come your way."

While there is still a long way to go until those matches take place, Omeruo also spoke of the camp's desire to qualify for the next WC.
