Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has thrown his support behind the Super Eagles as they gear up for a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda. The music icon, known for his passion for Nigerian football, praised the team’s spirit and energy under newly appointed head coach Eric Chelle.
The Super Eagles held their first official training session in Kigali on Tuesday, March 18, ahead of the must-win fixture at the Amahoro Stadium. Wizkid, reacting via his X handle on Wednesday, expressed excitement about the team’s performance.
“New Super Eagles team! Love the energy,” he tweeted, signaling optimism for Nigeria’s qualification campaign.
With kickoff set for 5 PM Nigerian time on Friday, March 21, the Super Eagles are under pressure to secure maximum points against Rwanda before returning home to face Zimbabwe in Uyo on Tuesday, March 25.
The stakes couldn’t be higher, as Nigeria currently sits behind in the qualification race and must win both matches to keep their World Cup dreams alive. Fans across the country are rallying behind the team, and Wizkid’s endorsement has only fueled the excitement ahead of the showdown.
