Summary
Benin and Niger play against each other in a West African international friendly on June 5, 2026, at the Stade Père-Jégo in Casablanca, Morocco. Both sides are using the June FIFA window as crucial preparation ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, making this a truly competitive fixture!
The Cheetahs, coached by the experienced German tactician Gernot Rohr, arrive in Morocco in excellent form. Benin has won their last two matches, both 1-0 victories over Liberia and Guinea, respectively, and come into this clash demonstrating exactly the kind of defensive discipline and skill that Rohr has built into the squad. Their 2026 AFCON campaign in Morocco was historical. Benin registered their first-ever AFCON win by defeating Botswana 1-0 in December 2025, before being eliminated in the Round of 16 by Egypt.
The Les Menas, arrive under coach Badou Zaki, but their 2026 campaign has been difficult. They have failed to score or win in either of their outings this year, drawing 0-0 with Libya and then losing 0-1 to Togo in March 2026.
Benin and Niger have met before, with the most recent recorded encounter taking place at the 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations in September 2017. That match ended 3-3 in dramatically, with Benin's Jules Elegbede completing a comeback to level in the 87th minute.
For Benin, a third straight win would add to their success. For Niger, finding a first goal and first win of 2026 is the pressing priority.
