Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has been recalled to the Nigeria squad ahead of this week's CAF 2026 FIFA World Cup Play-off Tournament in Morocco after serving a two-month suspension for his part in an illegal betting scheme.

Victor Boniface says he feels 'unlucky' with the Nigerian national team, after scoring just one goal in 13 appearances for the Super Eagles, even when his club form put him as one of Africa's brightest attacking prospects.

Heading into AFCON, on the back of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, South Africa have developed a winning instinct that was lacking before, says defender Thabo Moloisane.
