Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi has opines that only a win against the Amavubi of Rwanda can boost the chances of Nigeria securing a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Super Eagles will be up against Adel Amrouche’s men at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday, by 5pm

The three-time African champions have earned seven points from six games in the qualifiers.

They currently trailed leaders Bafana Bafana of South Africa by six points.

Ndidi said  it is important for the Super Eagles to secure maximum points against the Amavubi.

“We are not looking at the game against South Africa yet, because the game against Rwanda is the most important one in our hands right now, and we can’t let it slip,” the midfielder told reporters in Uyo.

“If we let it slip, it’s finished. If we let the Rwanda game slip, there’s nothing like rivalry in South Africa. We have to win the game against Rwanda first, then we focus on the game against South Africa.”
