The Nigeria Football Federation have officially confirmed via the Super Eagles Twitter account the dates and kickoff times for the national team's final 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Our final fixture will take place on Tuesday, March 30 in Nigeria's commercial capital, Lagos with a kickoff time of 1700 hours (WAT).

Though the match venue for the gameday six fixture has not been disclosed, it is scheduled to hold at the Teslim Balogun Stadium.

Nigeria got the better of Benin earlier in the qualifiers, with Victor Osimhen and Samuel Kalu finding the net in a 2-1 win at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo, which came despite the opponents taking an early lead through former West Brom star Stéphane Sessègnon.

The three-time African champions defeated Lesotho 4-2 the following matchday thanks to strikes from Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze and Osimhen (2).

Gernot Rohr's team will camp in Lagos before traveling to the Republic of Benin.
