The Amavubi of Rwanda have landed in Uyo ahead of their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying encounter against Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
The East African side touched down at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium axis on Monday evening and wasted no time in getting down to business, with their first training session held under floodlights.
Coach Torsten Spittler’s men are determined to cause an upset against the three-time African champions, and the early commencement of preparations signals their intent.
The Rwandans are expected to fine-tune tactical details and adjust to the humid conditions in Uyo before matchday.
Nigeria, on the other hand, will be banking on home advantage and their array of star players to secure maximum points, with the Super Eagles looking to maintain momentum in the qualifiers.
Both teams understand the significance of the fixture, as victory will play a crucial role in shaping their chances of reaching the 2026 World Cup, set to be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
The highly anticipated clash is scheduled to take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium later this week.
