The African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup return this Wednesday. In the third round of Group B, Togo will host South Sudan at Stade de Kégué, at 1 pm (Brasília time).
The home team are looking for their first victory in the group, as they drew both games in the first rounds.
As a result, Togo is only in fourth place, with two points. A victory in front of the fans will see the team take the lead alongside Senegal and Sudan.
On the other side, South Sudan is also looking for its first triumph. Visitors have only one point and they want to get out of the key lantern.
Only the first place in each group qualifies for the 2026 World Cup. The four best second-placed teams compete in a knockout stage, and the winner goes to the Repechage for the World Cup.
