World Cup Qualifiers: Rohr Names Benin Squad for Super Eagles Showdown

In a bid to revive their World Cup dreams, Benin head coach Gernot Rohr named a 25-man squad for their crucial qualifiers against Rwanda and Nigeria.

The former Super Eagles manager has selected a blend of experience, with striker Steve Mounie, and exciting youth prospects like Nigerian-born Ayegun Tosin and Samson Akinyoola.

The Squirrels, currently winless at the bottom of Group C, need victories in both matches, starting with a home clash against leaders Rwanda on June 6th. 

Can Rohr pull off an upset against his former team just four days later? The Stade Felix Houphouet Boigny in Abidjan will be the stage for this intriguing encounter.
