Mutiu Adepoju warns the Super Eagles that they cannot afford to lose or draw against Rwanda in their World Cup qualifiers. Nigeria, sitting fifth in Group C, must secure all three points to keep their 2026 FIFA World Cup hopes alive, according to the former Real Madrid midfielder.
Former Real Madrid midfielder Mutiu Adepoju has urged the Super Eagles to secure a victory in their upcoming World Cup qualifier against Rwanda, emphasizing that a loss or draw could severely jeopardize Nigeria's hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Nigeria currently sits in fifth place in Group C with just three points from their first four matches, and Adepoju believes the team must win every remaining match in the qualifiers.
He stressed the importance of a solid performance from the players and expressed confidence in their ability to succeed under coach Eric Chelle. Despite Nigeria's strong squad, Adepoju acknowledged the challenge that Rwanda poses and the need for tactical discipline from the team. A win would propel Nigeria to third place in the group, keeping their qualification dreams alive. Adepoju’s message was clear: every match matters and the Super Eagles must deliver.
