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.

Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has expressed confidence in the team’s strength ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe.

Nigeria will face Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday evening, following their solid 2-0 win over Rwanda in the last match.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Troost-Ekong highlighted the team’s depth and tactical awareness.

“We have a lot of smart players who play at a high level and can easily adapt to different tactics,” Troost-Ekong said. “The coaches have mentioned it too — there’s a lot of quality in this team, so it’s not about teaching players how to play football.”

The current Super Eagles squad includes top talents like African Footballer of the Year Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen, who won the award before Lookman. The match against Zimbabwe is set to kick off at 5 pm.

Super Eagles players honored Ademola Lookman on Monday night with a cake to celebrate his win as the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year. The Atalanta winger was celebrated during dinner at the team’s camp at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene.

Lookman won the prestigious award last December in Marrakech, Morocco, following an impressive season for both his club and the Super Eagles. Victor Osimhen, who won the award in 2023, praised Lookman and said he fully deserved the recognition.

“We all know Lookman deserved this. He’s been outstanding for both his club and the Super Eagles,” Osimhen said. “It’s a big deal that this award came to Nigeria and went to someone who truly earned it.”

Osimhen added, “I’m really proud of you. We’ve talked about this privately, and I’ve told you how proud I am that you chose to play for the Super Eagles. Your hard work and dedication have paid off.”

Lookman and Osimhen were key to Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Rwanda last Friday. They’ll be looking to make an impact again when Nigeria faces Zimbabwe today.
