Igho Ogbu Confident Super Eagles Can Finally Beat Rwanda in Kigali
Super Eagles defender Igho Ogbu is confident that the team can break their winless streak against Rwanda in Kigali.
The Super Eagles have struggled to secure a victory over the Amavubi in their last three meetings in Kigali. Éric Chelle’s squad faces the pressure of needing a win to strengthen their chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ogbu, who plays for Slavia Prague, remains positive about the team’s chances. He believes that with the right preparation, they can deliver a strong performance.
“I believe we can do it. We just need to work hard in training, and everything will fall into place on matchday,” Ogbu said in an interview with Ojb Sports.
The match is scheduled for Friday at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, with kickoff set for 5 pm Nigerian time.
William Troost-Ekong has assured that the Super Eagles will give their all to secure a win against Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Eric Chelle’s team will face Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo next Tuesday.
“We heard that Zimbabwe is feeling confident about getting a result in Uyo, but they should forget about it,” Troost-Ekong said to thenff.com.
He emphasized the team’s strong desire to qualify for the World Cup, saying, “Aside from me, Alex Iwobi, and maybe a couple of others who played at the 2018 World Cup, this generation is hungry to compete at the highest level. We want to make Nigeria proud and prove ourselves.”
The Super Eagles boosted their qualification hopes with a 2-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali last Friday. Nigeria currently sits in fourth place in Group C with six points from five matches.
Popular Boxing Legend George Foreman passes away at age 76. The heartbreaking news was confirmed on the 21st of March, 2025.
The boxing legend family then releases a statement “Our hearts are broken. With profound sorrow, we announced the passing of our beloved George Edward Foreman St. who peacefully departed on March 21, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.”
Foreman was a two-time worded heavyweight winner and an Olympic winner in 1968. In 1971, he took on Joe Frazier in ‘The Fight of the Century’.
Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has shared his thoughts on Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Rwanda in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on Friday.
Nwabali described the win as a solid performance and hinted that the team also enjoyed some sightseeing during their time in Kigali.
“Solid win and clean sheet. We went for sightseeing. Great team spirit!” Nwabali posted on his X account after the match.
Victor Osimhen’s brace secured all three points for the Super Eagles, moving them to fourth place in Group C with six points from five matches, just one point behind Rwanda.
Next up, Nigeria will face Zimbabwe on Tuesday, and Nwabali will be aiming for another clean sheet. Zimbabwe recently played out a 2-2 draw with Benin Republic in their last qualifier.
