Nigeria will host Rwanda this evening in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.

Friday’s Group C results tightened the pressure on the Super Eagles as South Africa consolidated their grip on top spot with a convincing victory, thanks to goals from Mohau Nkota, Lyle Foster, and Oswin Appollis.

That win took Bafana Bafana to 16 points after seven games, five ahead of Benin Republic (11 points). Rwanda sit third with eight points, while Nigeria are fourth with just seven.

Nigeria will look to defeat Rwanda as they seek a place in the 2026 World Cup competition.
