Super Eagles Captain Troost-Ekong Confident Ahead of Crucial Rwanda Clash
The Super Eagles of Nigeria are gearing up for a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda’s Amavubi, with captain William Troost-Ekong assuring fans that the team is fully prepared for the challenge.
The highly anticipated Group C encounter will take place on Friday at Amahoro Stadium, Kigali.
Troost-Ekong, who joined his teammates at their Radisson Blu Hotel base on Tuesday, took to social media to express the squad’s determination, writing on his X handle, “TOUCHDOWN LET’S GET TO WORK.”
Super Eagles Seek Redemption
The Super Eagles are still searching for their first win in the qualifiers, having drawn three matches and lost one so far.
The team is under immense pressure to turn things around and avoid the risk of missing back-to-back World Cups for the first time since making their debut at USA ’94.
Meanwhile, Rwanda is looking to secure a historic first-ever World Cup appearance. A win for them would strengthen their position at the top of Group C, while Nigeria, ranked 44th in the world, faces a must-win situation.
Final Squad Update
A total of 22 players are now in camp, with Valencia striker Umar Sadiq arriving on Tuesday.
The only player yet to report is midfielder Alhassan Yusuf.
With the stakes high, Nigerian fans are hoping the Super Eagles will rise to the occasion and reclaim their dominance on the continent.
