Published

Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman will spearhead Nigeria’s attack against Rwanda as head coach Eric Chelle named his starting XI for the crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

The match marks Chelle’s first official game in charge since his appointment in January.

With Nigeria sitting fifth in Group C on three points, the Super Eagles must win their remaining fixtures to have any chance of securing automatic qualification for next year’s World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

Stanley Nwabali retains his spot in goal, with captain William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, and Bright Osayi-Samuel forming the defensive line.

Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi will anchor the midfield, while Moses Simon and Samuel Chukwueze operate from the wings.

Osimhen and Lookman are tasked with delivering goals in what is a must-win clash for Nigeria.
