Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George has made three changes to his starting line-up for tonight’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture against Benin Republic.
Chippa United’s Stanley Nwabali will keep his position in goal after his impressive performance in last Friday’s 1–1 draw with South Africa.

In midfield, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru will make way for Brentford’s Frank Onyeka.
Captain Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi will keep their place.
OGC Nice star, Terem Moffi will lead the attack with Paul Onuachu taking a place on the bench.
