Former Super Eagles assistant coach, Simon Kalika, has encouraged the team to aggressively attack the Democratic Republic of Congo in their final playoff for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Super Eagles will compete against the Leopards in Rabat today (Sunday).

Eric Chelle’s team has netted 10 goals in their last three matches.
