Super Eagles to Face Rwanda in Final AFCON Qualifier After Securing 2025 Spot
The Super Eagles are set to face Rwanda in their final AFCON Qualifiers match, having already sealed their place in the 2025 tournament on Monday.
Nigeria’s qualification was confirmed before their 1-1 draw against Benin Republic, courtesy of Libya’s victory over Rwanda. However, following some lackluster performances, head coach Augustine Eguavoen is expected to make changes to his lineup.

Key adjustments could see Kelechi Iheanacho and Gabriel Osho relegated to the bench. In goal, Stanley Nwabali may be rested due to personal reasons, providing an opportunity for Maduka Okoye to stake his claim.
The defense is likely to feature a back four comprising Calvin Bassey, William Troost-Ekong, Osayi Samuel, and Ola Aina, offering solid protection for the goalkeeper.
In midfield, Wilfred Ndidi and Onyemaechi are expected to continue their partnership after impressive outings against Gernot Rohr’s side.
On the wings, Moses Simon is set to replace Iheanacho, having delivered an assist for Victor Osimhen’s equalizer. Ademola Lookman, despite a subdued performance last time out, is expected to retain his spot on the right flank.
Victor Osimhen, fresh off his goal-scoring return, is poised to lead the attack as the Super Eagles aim to end their qualifiers on a high note.
