The camp of the Super Eagles in Kigali has witnessed the arrival of more players after the former African Footballer of the Year, Victor Osimhen, and Bruno Onyemaechi, became the first to hit the camp on Sunday for Friday's 2026 World Cup qualifying duel with Rwanda.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Amavubis of Rwanda will host the Super Eagles at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali on Friday from 5 p.m.
