The Super Eagles have kicked off their preparations for their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier against Rwanda, with stars like Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Victor Boniface taking part in the first training session in Kigali on Tuesday.
This training marked a significant milestone for new head coach Eric Chelle, who is leading his first session since his appointment in January. The 23-man squad is nearly complete, with 22 players already in camp and only Alhassan Yusuf expected to arrive by tomorrow morning.
The Eagles are set to face Rwanda in Kigali on Friday, before taking on Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on March 25. With a record of one loss and three draws in their first four games, Nigeria desperately needs to secure wins in their upcoming matches to stay in the race for the 2026 World Cup.
With high stakes on the line, the team is more focused than ever to turn things around and keep their World Cup hopes alive.
