Rwanda will arrive Uyo on Wednesday, 3rd September, for the crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matchday seven encounter with the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

Head coach Adel Amrouche is expected to release his list for the Group C encounter this week.

The Amavubi will be away to the Super Eagles at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Saturday, 6th September.

The East Africans defeated Nigeria 2-1 on their last visit to the ground – a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

It is however the Super Eagles that will head into the game with more confidence having claimed a 2-0 victory over Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium, Kigali, in March.

The Super Eagles need to win the game to boost their chances of securing a place at the mundial.
