After their heartbreaking Africa Cup of Nations final defeat by hosts Ivory Coast in February 2024, the Super Eagles managed to bounce back by beating rivals Ghana and would also be looking to build on that in the fixture against Mali which will be played today, Tuesday, March 26, 2024. Interim boss Finidi George led the team to victory against Ghana on Friday, March 22, 2024, with goals from Rangers’ Cyriel Dessers and Ademola Lookman, despite a last-minute penalty from Jordan Ayew.
George will be hoping for another impressive performance and result against Mali today to further strengthen his chances of holding a permanent role as the head coach of the team ahead of the World Cup 2026 qualifiers.
