Adeleye says Super Eagles is ready to defeat Rwanda in world cup qualifier
Super Eagles goalkeeper Adebayo Adeleye has promised that the team will give everything on the pitch to claim all three points against Rwanda’s Amavubi.
Nigeria needs a win to keep their hopes of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup alive, with the tournament set to take place in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The crucial qualifier will be played in Uyo on Saturday.
The Eagles were previously held to a 1-1 draw at home by Zimbabwe, a result that piled pressure on them to deliver this time. Adeleye, who has returned to the squad after missing out on AFCON 2023, stressed the importance of the clash.
“We are ready for Rwanda, they must fall,” he said confidently. “Everyone is prepared, we know what’s at stake, and we can’t afford to waste this chance.”
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
