Officials have told SCORENigeria that the Super Eagles will tomorrow fly out to Zanzibar City for the return leg of a 2027 AFCON double-header against Tanzania.

The Super Eagles will fly out on a chartered flight from Uyo.

The team revived their qualification hopes for the 2027 AFCON after they beat Tanzania 3-1 in Uyo Friday night.

Both teams will clash again Tuesday in continuation of the qualifying series.

Nigeria are now second in Group L with six points from three matches, a point behind leaders Guinea Bissau.

Madagascar are third on two points, while Tanzania are bottom of the standings with a point.

Only the overall winners of this group will advance to the tournament proper as AFCON co-hosts Tanzania feature in this section of the qualifying tournament.

SCORENigeria has learnt that it was a straight fight between two former Super Eagles stars, Sunday Oliseh and Daniel Amokachi, for the membership of the NFF Normalisation Committee that will soon be announced.

Both Oliseh and Amokachi were important members of Nigeria’s Golden Generation of the 90s having won the 1994 AFCON, qualified Nigeria to a first-ever World Cup same year and made history when Nigerian won Olympic soccer gold in 1996.

“The choice for an ex-international (to be on the committee) was between Oliseh and Amokachi and in the end, Daniel (Amokachi) got the nod,” a top source informed SCORENigeria

The five-man Normalisation Committee is expected to reform Nigeria football after the resignation of the NFF executive committee led by Ibrahim Gusau in September.

The committee’s tenure is until May 31, 2027.

Striker Tolu Arokodare has said he hopes to soon start scoring goals for the Super Eagles as he has done for Dutch club Ajax.

The big striker has scored two goals in a dozen appearances for the Super Eagles.

This season the 25-year-old Arokodare has caught the eye on loan at Ajax, where he has thus far fired 13 goals and made four assists in 17 appearances.

“Yes, I would say I am having a very good start at Ajax, but I haven’t scored as much with the Super Eagles, but it’s also fair fair to say that every time I am with the team, I have done my part, supporting my teammates if I am playing or not playing, we also help other improve in training

“Obviously the goals haven’t been coming as they have at clubside, but I know that playing for your club and playing for your country is different.

“I just have to keep working, stay patient and fresh, keep being positive for me to be able to replicate what I do at my club.”
