Exclusive: 2022 WCQ: Nigeria Has Quality To Beat CAR – Adepoju

Former Nigerian midfielder, Mutiu Adepoju believes the Super Eagles have the quality to conquer the Central Africa Republic (CAR) in next month's 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Recall that the Super Eagles boss, Gernot Rohr released the list of players that will face CAR via the Super Eagles official Instagram account on Thursday.

Nigeria will host the Central African Republic in a matchday-three fixture at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos, on Thursday, October 7.

The reverse tie will take place three days later in Douala.

In an interview with Goalballlive, the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winner, said that he's confident the team will pick the maximum points.

“I am optimistic the Super Eagles will pick the maximum points against the Central Africa Republic. The list of invited players for the game simply shows that we are heading in the right direction.

“I really don't see any escaping route for CAR because the players are determined to qualify as early as possible.”
