The Super Eagles are set to face Rwanda in Kigali on Tuesday for their second 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier, following a commanding 3-0 victory over Benin. Interim coach Austin Eguavoen expressed confidence in his team’s ability to handle the challenges Rwanda may present, according to 9am news Nigeria.
Eguavoen emphasized that the Super Eagles always aim for victory, as Nigerians expect nothing less. He acknowledged the talent in the squad and stressed the importance of playing every opponent with respect but without fear. “We play to win all the time, because Nigerians expect their team to win all the time,” Eguavoen stated in a press conference reported by 9am news Nigeria.
The Super Eagles currently lead their qualifying group and are determined to maintain their position with another win over Rwanda. However, the coach warned against underestimating Rwanda, emphasizing that football has improved globally, and Nigeria must be prepared for any surprises.
Tuesday’s clash will be the first at the newly renovated Amahoro Stadium, with a large crowd expected. Despite Nigeria’s recent struggles to win away matches, Eguavoen is unfazed by the possibility of facing loud home support, stating that his players are experienced in handling such environments.
