Former Nigeria international Ifeanyi Udeze has called on the Super Eagles to treat Tanzania with the utmost respect when the two sides meet in a Group L double-header for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Nigeria are scheduled to host Tanzania in the first leg on Friday, November 13 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, before travelling for the reverse fixture on November 17. The Super Eagles currently sit second in Group L with three points, while Tanzania are bottom of the table on one point.

Speaking on BRILA FM ahead of the fixtures, Udeze stressed that the matches would be far from straightforward.
