Eric Chelle’s men will face the Djurtus at the Estadio 24 de Setembro on September 29 as both teams look to maintain their winning starts in Group L.

The three-time African kings began their qualifying campaign with a 2-1 comeback victory over Madagascar in Uyo, with debutants George Ilenikhena and Moses Usor finding the net.

Guinea-Bissau also made a perfect start, securing an impressive 2-0 away victory over 2027 AFCON co-hosts Tanzania.

Victory in Bissau would strengthen Nigeria’s position in the race to qualify for the tournament, which will be staged across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
