The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set for a decisive encounter against Rwanda in their quest for a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The qualification match, scheduled for later today in Kigali, presents an opportunity for Nigeria to revive their campaign after a slow start.
With just three points from four matches, Nigeria sits fifth in their group and must turn their fortunes around to stay in contention. Only the top team will secure automatic qualification, while the best four second-placed teams across the continent will advance to a playoff.
The match marks the debut of Eric Chelle as head coach of the Super Eagles, nearly two months after his appointment. The three-time African champions will have a full squad at their disposal, including star forwards Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, as they aim for a crucial victory.
Kickoff is set for 5 PM (WAT/Nigeria time), with Nigerian fans eagerly anticipating a resurgence from their national team in the road to the World Cup in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
