One-time African Player of the Year Victor Ikpeba has warned coach Eric Chelle to keep faith with the team who trounced Benin 4-0 in Uyo to qualify for the CAF 2026 World Cup Playoffs.
“You don’t change a winning team,” Ikpeba sounded out ahead of the World Cup Playoffs in Morocco next week
“It’s a second chance for us to qualify for the World Cup.
“We have to get it right this time especially as we did not qualify for Qatar 2022.
“We therefore have to go out and beat Gabon, who have never qualified for the World Cup and do not have the experience we have, while Cameroon are no longer the team they once were.”
Ikpeba also said he is excited by the form of keys stars like Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze.
