South Africa and Nigeria will face off in the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers after the two African giants were drawn in Group C on Thursday’s draw.
Abidjan hosted the draw for the next World Cup qualifiers and Bafana now know their opponents. After avoiding fellow Pot 2 seeds like Ghana, Zambia, Burkina Faso, DR Congo and Guinea, South Africa were drawn in Group C.
They will meet Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Benin, Rwanda and Lesotho in Group C as they push for the first World Cup appearance since 2010.
