Unity Cup final: Super Eagles tipped for glory over Jamaica in London

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been tipped to defeat Jamaica in the 2026 Unity Cup final in London later today by Olympic-winning coach Jo Bonfrere, Afrik Foot reports.

Eric Chelle’s men made a good account of themselves in the semi-final against Zimbabwe, putting two goals past Kiatano Tembo’s men.

Femi Azeez was the star of the show, scoring a brace on his debut, and while that’s a sign of good things to come, the Millwall winger revealed he wants to do more in the Green and White colours of Nigeria, with the hopes of playing at the AFCON 2027 tournament.

Jo Bonfrere backs Super Eagles for Unity Cup title

The Super Eagles defeated Jamaica in the final of the 2025 edition at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, and the Dutch coach believes they can replicate the same success at the Valley this evening.

“Super Eagles are a strong team, not only in Africa but in the world,” the 79-year-old told Complete Sports.

“They have excellent players — Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Samuel Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi — all playing in top European clubs.

“Yes, I am confident. I have no fears. With good organisation and tactics, Super Eagles can beat any team,” Jo Bonfrere concluded.

Previous history backs the Super Eagles against the Reggae Boyz. Nigeria have defeated Jamaica three times in four meetings.

Kick-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM at Charlton Athletic’s Valley Stadium in London.
