•Nigeria’s Super Eagles
After a dominant performance against Benin Republic, Nigeria’s Super Eagles are set to face Rwanda in their second match of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers today Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
The match, which promises to be feisty, will be played at the 45,508-seat Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, with kickoff scheduled for 2:00 PM Nigerian time, reports Vanguard.
Both teams find themselves in the same group for the AFCON qualifiers, as well as the 2026 World Cup qualification group, making this game even more critical.
While Nigeria is grappling with some inconsistency, Rwanda has emerged as the group leader, and they will be keen to maintain their momentum by securing a vital win in front of their home crowd.
For the Super Eagles, this encounter is not only about securing qualification points but also about reasserting their dominance after recent struggles.
Historically, Nigeria and Rwanda have met five times in international football. The Super Eagles boast two victories, while the other three encounters ended in draws.
Rwanda, however, is yet to taste victory against Nigeria, but with their current form, they will be looking to change that narrative and send a strong message to their group rivals.
