The Super Eagles squad on Saturday reportedly arrived in Kigali, Rwanda, for their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture against the Warriors of Zimbabwe on Sunday.
On Friday night, the delegation of players and officials travelled to East Africa aboard a chartered aircraft that departed from the Victor Attah International Airport and is expected to touch down in Kigali at dawn, before a two-hour road trip to Butare, the city where the match venue (Huye Stadium) is located.
The 20,000-capacity Huye Stadium has an artificial turf but the Eagles have voiced a collective decision not to be bothered about the playing turf as they seek the maximum three points.
On Thursday, the Super Eagles played a 1-1 draw with Lesotho’s Crocodiles in Uyo.
Head coach Jose Peseiro has vowed that the team will face the remaining nine matches of the qualification with a winning mentality.
