Obassa Adebiyi Earns Benin Republic Call-Up for Crucial AFCON Qualifiers Against Nigeria and Libya

Benin Republic's national football team has called up Remo Stars Goalkeeper Obassa Adebiyi for their decisive 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches this month. The talented Goalkeeper will be part of the squad set to face regional powerhouse Nigeria on November 14, followed by an encounter with Libya on November 18. 

Adebiyi's inclusion comes as Benin seeks to strengthen their squad for these pivotal fixtures in Group C of the AFCON qualifiers. The Squirrels, as Benin's national team is known, are hoping to secure a place in the 2025 tournament scheduled to be held in Morocco. Given the significance of these matches, especially the high-stakes face-off against Nigeria, Adebiyi’s addition is expected to add depth to the team’s lineup.

The match against Nigeria will be a stern test, as the Super Eagles boast a strong lineup and are traditionally one of Africa’s footballing giants. Playing at home, Benin will look to make the most of this fixture before traveling to Libya for their final qualifying game. The results of these matches will be decisive for Benin's AFCON ambitions, as they aim to qualify and make an impact in the tournament.

Adebiyi's call-up reflects his recent performances and contributions to his club, and fans of Benin will be eager to see him perform on the international stage. His presence could be instrumental in helping Benin achieve a favorable outcome in both matches, as they look to secure a spot in the upcoming AFCON tournament.
