Following their dominant 3-0 victory over the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in their opening match of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are gearing up for their next challenge against Rwanda.
The Nigerian side, buoyed by goals from Ademola Lookman, who scored a brace, and Victor Osimhen, who found the net in the 78th minute, is ready to continue their winning form.
The Super Eagles have landed in Kigali ahead of their highly anticipated encounter with Rwanda, set to take place on Tuesday, September 10th, 2024, at the iconic 45,508-seat Amahoro Stadium. Fans can tune in to watch the game live on DSTV and Afrosport at 2.00 PM Nigerian time.
While Nigeria comfortably won their opening match, Rwanda managed to secure a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Libya in their own first qualifier.
The Rwandan team will be eager to put up a strong fight on home soil and send a message to the Super Eagles, who have struggled in recent international fixtures, including a 1-2 loss to Benin Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Historically, Nigeria and Rwanda have met five times, with Nigeria holding two victories and the remaining three matches ending in draws. Rwanda is still searching for their first win against the Super Eagles.
Will Nigeria extend their winning streak, or will Rwanda secure a historic victory? Football fans won’t want to miss this exciting AFCON 2025 qualifier!
