"We will fight and make life hard for them. We believe we can win with our fans," Dala confidently stated.

The much-anticipated match will kick off at 5 p.m. Cote d’Ivoire time (6 p.m. Nigeria time). Football enthusiasts can expect an intense battle between these two talented teams vying for a spot in the semi-finals of the prestigious tournament.
