Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George says it is important for the team to beat South Africa and Benin Republic in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches in June.<\/p>\n
Finidi\u2019s side are winless in Group C with two draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
The West Africans will face the Bafana Bafana and Squirrels in a doubleheader next month.<\/p>\n
The Super Eagles need maximum points from both games to boost their chances of securing a place at the 2026 World Cup finals.<\/p>\n
Finidi reckoned his side can\u2019t afford to drop more points after their poor start.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, they (the games) are really important because we know where we stand at the moment. It\u2019s not a good position, to be honest, we should be honest with ourselves,\u201d Ndidi told Arise TV.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere we are at the moment gives us more pressure, because these games are must-win games. I\u2019m not saying we will win the game but I\u2019m saying they are must-win games because we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen but it all bores down to us as a team because we know what is at hand and then we know we have to get as much as we can in these two games just to go up there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
