On Monday night, team captain William Troost-Ekong, Alex Iwobi, and Calvin Bassey were spotted at the airport en route to Kigali. The remaining players are expected to join the squad before the highly anticipated match on Friday.
This fixture marks Matchday 5 of the World Cup qualifiers, with Nigeria set to host Zimbabwe on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
Eric Chelle faces mounting pressure to turn Nigeria’s campaign around, as the Super Eagles currently sit at the bottom of Group C with just three points from four games—one point ahead of Zimbabwe.
