Lesotho head coach, Leslie Notsi admitted beating the Super Eagles will be a difficult task but hinted his players are ready for the task ahead.
Notsi’s side will be up against the Super Eagles in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying contest at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Thursday.
The Super Eagles are obviously the favourite to win the game going by the quality of players in the team.
The Likuena are however not ready to go down without fighting, according to the gaffer.
“We are playing a tough fixture against one of the best footballing countries in Africa and in the world, a team that has qualified for the World Cups,” Notsi told reporters in Uyo. READ ALSO:
