Fourth in Group C with 7 points, the Super Eagles trail leaders South Africa by 6 points. With their backs against the wall, Eric Chelle’s men must secure a win against Rwanda if they want to stay in the race for a spot at the 2026 World Cup.

Rwanda aren’t in a much better position, having failed to win any of their last four matches across all competitions.

A victory would be historic for Rwanda against Nigeria, especially since it could weigh heavily in the final standings and the selection of the best runners-up from the nine qualifying groups.
