Nigeria’s Super Eagles are set for a crucial showdown against the Democratic Republic of Congo in the African FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers play-off final, taking place at the Prince Moulay El Hassan Sports Complex in Rabat, Morocco.

The winner of tonight’s decisive encounter will secure a place in the intercontinental playoffs — the final gateway to the 2026 World Cup.

Nigeria booked their spot in the play-off final after a commanding 2–0 aggregate victory over Gabon, displaying renewed confidence and tactical discipline. DR Congo also earned their place with a 2–1 aggregate triumph over Sudan, setting the stage for a fierce and evenly-matched battle.

The Super Eagles will rely heavily on talismanic striker Victor Osimhen, who leads the charge for Nigeria’s attack. The squad also receives a major boost with the confirmed eligibility of midfield anchor Wilfred Ndidi, whose presence is expected to strengthen the team’s structure and tempo.

Historically, Nigeria holds an edge in their football rivalry with DR Congo, but analysts warn that play-off finals come with unpredictable intensity, where form and history often give way to grit, precision, and composure.

Kick-off in Rabat is expected to draw global attention as both nations fight for their dream of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
