The Super Eagles have landed in Kigali ahead of their pivotal 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying clash against Rwanda’s Amavubi. Head coach Eric Chelle and his backroom staff arrived in the Rwandan capital on Sunday, June 16, setting the stage for an intense week of preparation.
With World Cup qualification on the line, this fixture is a must-win for the Nigerian team. The France-born coach has already streamlined his squad, cutting the initial 39-man list down to 23 players earlier this week. The invited stars are expected to start arriving in camp on Sunday night, with full training sessions kicking off Monday, June 17.
The crucial encounter is set to take place at Amahoro Stadium in Kigali on Friday, June 21. Fans and analysts alike are eagerly watching to see how Chelle’s tactical approach will unfold as the Super Eagles aim to secure three vital points on the road.
