WCQ: Super Eagles Seek First Win in Rwanda After Three Goalless Draws

Published

on

The Super Eagles will be eager to end their winless run against Rwanda when they face the Amavubi in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali on Friday (today).

Nigeria has failed to secure a victory in their previous three visits to Rwanda, all of which ended in goalless draws.

The first meeting between both sides in Kigali—a 2006 World Cup qualifier—ended 0-0 at the Amahoro Stadium 25 years ago.

In 2011, they played out another 0-0 draw in a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Stade Regional de Nyamirambo.

Most recently, in September last year, the two teams once again shared the spoils in a 0-0 draw during a 2025 AFCON qualifier at the same Amahoro venue.

This time, the Super Eagles face a must-win scenario after a poor start to their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Eric Chelle’s side remains winless in Group C after four games and sits in fifth place with just three points.
