Former Edo State governor, Chief Lucky Igbinedion, has expressed confidence that the Super Eagles have what it takes to defeat Rwanda on their home soil when both teams face off in March for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Kigali, gathered Nigeriasoccernet.com.
Speaking over the weekend at the opening ceremony of this year’s Kada Unity Cup at his Etete Sports Complex in Benin City, Igbinedion emphasized that a World Cup without Nigeria would be unimaginable and asserted that Rwanda should not pose a serious threat.
“As you know, we are very passionate about our Super Eagles. Every right-thinking Nigerian wants to see our flag hoisted at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. We have talented young players excelling across Europe, so qualifying should not be a major concern," Igbinedion stated.
"If the NFF and the technical crew do the right thing, Rwanda should not be a difficult opponent. I am confident that our boys will make us proud. A World Cup without Nigeria simply wouldn’t make sense.”
