The official dates for Nigeria’s Super Eagles’ next two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers have been confirmed, setting the stage for crucial clashes against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
According to an announcement on the team’s official X account, the three-time African champions will travel to Kigali for a matchday five encounter against Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium on Friday, March 21. Four days later, they will host Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday, March 25.
With their qualification hopes hanging by a thread, Nigeria is yet to secure a victory in the campaign, managing just three draws and suffering one defeat in four matches. Eric Chelle’s side currently sits fifth in Group C with three points, desperately needing wins to revive their chances.
Rwanda leads the standings with seven points, with South Africa and Benin also tied on seven points but trailing on goal difference. Lesotho sits fourth with five points, while Zimbabwe is at the bottom with two.
With the pressure mounting, the Super Eagles must deliver strong performances in these upcoming fixtures to keep their World Cup dreams alive.
