[BREAKING] Rwanda vs Nigeria: New Super Eagles’ Attitude Excites WizKid As Team Set To Break Kigali Jinx

As the Super Eagles prepare for their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier against Rwanda, Nigerian Afrobeats superstar WizKid has thrown his weight behind the national team, as the hopes to secure their first ever win in Kigali, Rwanda on Thursday.

Expressing his support and confidence in the squad’s ability to secure victory, WizKid, whose real name is Ayodeji Balogun, voiced his excitement about the team’s preparations under newly appointed head coach Eric Chelle.

The squad, which held its last training session on Wednesday afternoon, has been working intensively ahead of the encounter. WizKid took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday to share his enthusiasm for the new-look team.

“New Super Eagles team! I love the energy,” he wrote, signaling his approval of the squad’s spirit and determination.

The high-stakes match is set to take place at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali on Friday, March 22, with kickoff scheduled for 5 PM Nigerian time.

The Super Eagles will be aiming to put past struggles against Rwanda in Kigali behind them and secure a vital three points on the road to the 2026 World Cup.

A record of previous clashes between the Super Eagles and Rwanda shows that the two teams have met three times in Kigali in the past, with all three encounters ending in a draw.

The Super Eagles must break this jinx and secure their first victory against the Amavubis in Kigali to keep their slim chance of qualifying for the World Cup alive.

Nigeria is currently fifth in Group C with three points from four games, while Rwanda is second with seven points from four matches.
