Samuel Chukwueze has stressed the need for the Super Eagles to secure victories in their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa. Nigeria currently sits fourth in Group C with seven points from six matches, while South Africa leads the table with 13 points.

“We really need to win against Rwanda and South Africa to keep our World Cup hopes alive,” the winger said, adding that full focus is on the task ahead.
