The 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe in March will be the focus of the Super Eagles, according to coach Eric Chelle.
Nigeria will need maximum points from both games to get their faltering World Cup qualifying campaign back on track.
A top source close to the coach told SCORENigeria that the focus now is on the World Cup qualifiers.
“The focus has to be the next two matches in March (2026 World Cup qualifiers), that’s the thinking of the coach,” he revealed.
Nigeria have been drawn against Tunisia, Tanzania and Uganda in the first round of the 2025 AFCON.
“It’s a good group when you compare it with some of the other groups,” he said.
“For any team to win the AFCON, you have to beat everyone.”
