Rwanda vs Nigeria, World Cup Qualification, CAF, Stade Amahoro, 17:00

Aiming for a strong start with Nigeria, Eric Chelle’s Super Eagles travel to Rwanda in World Cup 2026 qualifying, needing a positive result in Friday’s Group C encounter at the Amahoro Stadium.

The three-time African champions are currently in second-to-last place as they head into the fifth round of matches, falling four points behind the joint leaders. They cannot afford more mistakes in their quest to qualify for the global finals.

Rwanda dares to dream after four games in World Cup qualifying. The Amavubi sit joint top with South Africa and Benin on seven points in Group C heading into Friday’s match against the African giants.

Having never participated in a World Cup finals, new boss Adel Amrouche hopes to secure a victory in his first match in charge of the East African nation as qualification reaches its halfway point.

The Super Eagles, winless in their last three encounters with Rwanda and suffering a 2-1 defeat at home in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match in November 2024, must secure their first win in the East African nation to bolster their World Cup chances.

Despite Nigeria’s ambition to avoid the ignominy of consecutive World Cup absences, this iteration has thus far flattered to deceive despite the presence of Osimhen and Lookman.

We hope the Super Eagles of Nigeria can rise to the occasion and secure the much-needed win over Rwanda to kick-start their World Cup campaign.
