On March 21, 2025, Nigeria’s Super Eagles secured a 2-0 victory over Rwanda in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier held in Kigali. Striker Victor Osimhen was instrumental, netting both goals—the first in the 11th minute and the second just before halftime.
This win marked Nigeria’s first in the qualification campaign, bringing their total to six points from five matches. Despite the victory, they remain four points behind group leaders South Africa. To secure a spot in the World Cup, Nigeria must aim to top their group or be among the four best runners-up to enter the inter-continental playoffs.
