2026 World Cup Qualifier: Benin Republic to host Super Eagles at neutral venue

Super Falcons goalkeeper, Tochukwu Oluehi says the team must be aggressive in their approach against the Banyana Banyana of South Africa.

Randy Waldrum’s side are seeking a place at the 2024 Olympic Games.

The West Africans must navigate their way past the current African champions to earn a spot in the women’s football event for the first time in 16 years.

South Africa have dominated recent head-to-head meetings between the two countries, winning three out of four.

“We just have to be aggressive,” she said.

“Take the bull by the horns, from the start to the finish. We have to be at our best. Everyone must fight for each other, everyone must help each other,” Oluehi told ESPN.com.

“We can’t relax and let them play. I remember at WAFCON in Morocco, what cost us against them was because we allowed them to play their game.

“It was in the second half that we stepped up our game but by then it was too late for us to come back. We can’t let that happen again, so we have to take the fight to them.

“From the start to the end, we will hunt them so that they can feel our own heat and know that we really need this qualification.”
