MTN Nigeria, the Official Telecommunications Partner of the Super Eagles, has expressed its support for the national team as they continue in their quest to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Urging the Super Eagles to go for victory, Tobe Okigbo, Chief Corporate Services & Sustainability Officer, MTN Nigeria said: “The road to success is not always smooth. We are confident in the ability of the team to make Nigeria proud and qualify for the World Cup.”
The Super Eagles tackle the Cheetahs of Benin Republic today at the Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan after a nail-biting 1-1 draw against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa at the Godwin Akpabio Stadium last Friday.
After three consecutive draws against Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, the Super Eagles currently sit in fifth position leaving them two points behind table leader in Group C of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. The team needs to win their next two matches to boost their confidence and increase their chances of qualifying.
“This is the time for all Nigerians to come together and support the team as they seek to win the next matches and ultimately qualify for the World Cup. This is Naija where football lives and our Super Eagles are fitting ambassadors, representing our love for the game. MTN will continue to support the team,” Okigbo added.
MTN Nigeria signed a three-year deal with the Nigerian Football Federation in 2021, making the company the Official Telecommunications Partner of all the football teams under the NFF.
