Former Nigeria international Emmanuel Amuneke is hoping the Super Eagles win their next two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe this month.
The three time African champions are faced with must win situations after collecting just three points from four qualifying matches.
They have only managed three draws and a defeat but Amuneke, who once coached the Nigeria U-17 national male team, believes that, the 2024 AFCON runners up have a chance to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted in Mexico, Canada, and the USA.
“I hope we make it to the World Cup. I wish them the very best of luck and I hope in their upcoming games they are able to win their games,” Amuneke told Modo Victor. “We must be realistic, it’s a very difficult task, but everything is possible in football. I hope they can be able to start winning against Rwanda.”
Nigeria will travel to Kigali on March 21 as guests of the Amavubi before hosting the Warriors of Zimbabwe on March 25 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
