Super Eagles Aims to Secure First Win Against Rwanda in World Cup Qualifier
The Super Eagles are aiming for their first away win against Rwanda in Friday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Nigeria has struggled to beat the Amavubi in Kigali, with three previous meetings ending without a win.
The last time they faced Rwanda in a World Cup qualifier at the Amahoro Stadium was in 2004, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
In 2011, both teams played to a goalless draw in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Stade Regional de Nyamirambo. Another goalless draw followed in September last year during a 2025 AFCON qualifying match at the Amahoro Stadium.
With three draws and one loss from their first four games, the Super Eagles are in fifth place in Group C with just three points. Rwanda, on the other hand, sits comfortably in second place with seven points. The Super Eagles need to break their winless streak to keep their World Cup hopes alive.
Former Professional footballer, Joey Barton has been found guilty of assault charge. This was reported by Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
The ex-footballer was reported to have assimilated his wife by beating her after pushing her to the floor and kicking her in the head.
It can be recalled that the assault incident and charge occurred in 2021. The incident resulted as Barton was intoxicated and abused his wife after their children went to bed.
The sentence and punishment of the ex-footballer has yet to be stated.
Football Legend Ronaldo apologizes to Neymar for his comment on compatriot. The footballer hinted at Neymar not having a good relationship with the current CBF president, Ednaldo Rodrigues.
Ronaldo stated this during his recent interview “As far as I know, Neymar doesn’t get along with Ednaldo. That’s what I heard, I don’t know if it’s true. But it’s possible.”
However the footballer then takes to his X page to write out an apology. “I would like to apologize to @neymarjr for having spoken about his relationship with the president of the CBF.”
“As a former player, I know how badly told stories can harm us. I also know how much his talent can make a difference in the Brazilian National Team. That’s why I support him!”
Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has made it clear that his goal is to win every match with the team.
The Malian coach kicked off his tenure with a 1-0 win over Rwanda’s Amavubi last Friday.
Up next, Nigeria will face Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday. Chelle stressed the importance of keeping up the momentum.
“I’ve told my players that I want to win every game,” the 47-year-old said at a press conference. “Right now, my focus is on the Zimbabwe match. After that, we’ll think about the next one.”
