Ahead of the crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Qualifiers, Rwanda's coach Torsten Spittler expressed confidence in his team's readiness to face Nigeria's Super Eagles. The two teams are set to clash on Tuesday at Stade Amahoro in Kigali, where Rwanda aims to secure a vital win.
Rwanda comes into the match after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Libya, while Nigeria seeks to build on its recent success after convincingly defeating Benin in their opening qualifier. The Super Eagles boast a wealth of talent, including standout players such as Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface, and Ademola Lookman, who is the only African nominated for the Ballon d'Or.
Despite Nigeria's strong reputation, Spittler emphasized his team's determination and preparation, stating, “We are in a good process and what we have done so far is promising.” He acknowledged Nigeria's stature but assured that Rwanda is ready to compete and showcase its skills on the field.
A victory for Rwanda could propel them to the top of Group D, while a win for Nigeria could see them take a significant step toward qualification for the tournament, potentially wrapping up their place by October. The match promises to be an exciting contest, with both teams eager to achieve their objectives.
