Maduka Okoye has said it is important for the Super Eagles to start their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign on a winning note.
The Super Eagles will entertain their neighbours Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday.
The three-time African champions have won only one of their last five outings.
Okoye stated that the Super Eagles must go all out for a win against the Cheetahs.
“It’s important we win because this is an important AFCON qualifier,” the Udinese goalkeeper told reporters.
“We have to be at our best and play at our highest level.
“What is most important is the victory for the team and for Nigeria.”
