The Rwandan national team, known as the Amavubi (The Wasps), will arrive in Uyo on Wednesday, September 3, led by head coach Adel Amrouche. He is expected to finalize his squad as the East African side looks to keep their qualification hopes alive.

This fixture recalls Rwanda’s shocking 2-1 victory over Nigeria at the same venue during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. That upset boosted Rwanda’s confidence, although the Super Eagles bounced back with a 2-0 away win in Kigali last March.

For Nigeria, Saturday’s game is more than just another qualifier. Securing three points would put the Super Eagles in a stronger position to top Group C and push closer to the 2026 World Cup.

Head coach Finidi George is determined to see his team deliver a dominant performance in front of home fans.

Supporters in Uyo are already buzzing with excitement, anticipating a charged atmosphere at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium. Many believe the Super Eagles have the firepower to overcome Rwanda and move one step closer to their World Cup dream.
