Nigeria’s coach reassures World Cup qualification ambitions unaffected by Rwanda loss.

Eguavoen Insists Defeat To Rwanda Won’t Affect Super Eagles’ 2026 World Cup Qualifiers

The recent loss of the Super Eagles has sparked concern among fans and analysts, but the team’s coach, Eguavoen, remains optimistic about their prospects. The setback has left the team with a tough road ahead, but Eguavoen is adamant that his players will not be derailed from their World Cup qualification goals.

The Super Eagles are set to face the Amavubi again in March 2025, when the World Cup qualifiers resume. Despite the disappointing result in their last encounter in Uyo, Eguavoen is confident that his team will learn from their mistakes and come back stronger.

“We won’t let this defeat hold us back from our World Cup qualification ambitions,” Eguavoen said, acknowledging the disappointment but emphasizing the importance of learning from their mistakes. “We’ve learned a valuable lesson from this experience, and we’ll be thorough in our evaluation of our performance. We’ll implement new strategies to ensure we’re better prepared to face them next time.”

The Super Eagles are currently struggling in Group C, with only three draws and one defeat in their first four matches. This has left them in a precarious position, with only three points accumulated. The team is well aware that significant improvements are needed if they hope to turn their fortunes around and revive their chances of qualifying for the World Cup.
