Super Eagles confident of positive start as it takes Lesotho in first World Cup qualifying opener in Uyo

By Uzor Odigbo

Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo has promised a good outing for the Super Eagles as they begin their World Cup qualifying campaign today in Uyo, Cross Rivers State.

Recall that Super Eagles missed the Chance to appear in World Cup Qatar 2022 edition, following painful exit by Black Stars of Ghana in Abuja.

Omeruo said that the three-time African champions have held a meeting where it was decided to take the long campaign one-match-at-a-time.

“Most of us in the team still remember how painful it was not to be part of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The memory lingers but then, that is gone. This is a fresh opportunity and we all want to be at the next one.

“There is always the temptation to over-think how to process the campaign, but it is a long one and we have opted to think and plan for only the match ahead of us.”

“On Thursday, we will play Lesotho. We remember them from our 2021 AFCON qualifiers.
After the final whistle on Thursday, we can then start thinking about the next opponents.”
