AFCON 2027Q: Super Eagles ready for Madagascar, Guinea-Bissau – Lookman

Ademola Lookman says the Super Eagles are determined to start their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign on a positive note.

Eric Chelle’s side will begin their campaign with an home fixture against the Barea of Madagascar at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo next week Thursday.

The three-time African champions will then travel to Bissau to face the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau for a matchday two encounter on Tuesday, 29 September.

Lookman reckoned Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau will be a tough nut to crack for the Super Eagles.

The Atletico Madrid winger, however, insisted that the Super Eagles will do their best to secure maximum points.

“The whole team is really looking forward to it. Two very important matches are coming up, and the opponents are, of course, tough to face,” Lookman said in Sporty TV as quoted by footballapp.

“But we’re eager to win both of these games. We know the matches will be difficult, but we’ll do everything we can to achieve it.”
