Rwanda’s Amavubi will be playing their biggest match in ages when they face the Super Eagles on Tuesday in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
There is so much buzz around the encounter as Rwanda, though making waves in World Cup 2026 qualifiers, have not qualified for the AFCON since 2004.
Head coach Torsten Spittler of Germany initially remarked that he cannot promise the country qualification to the 2025 AFCON although it’s a dream he wants to achieve.
Just like he said prior to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Spittler insists his aim is to win all AFCON 2025 qualifying matches.
“Every team wants to qualify but I cannot promise anything. My target is to win every game in the qualifying phase and if those wins can take us in Morocco, we will be glad,” Spittler told the press.
“We have been performing well and I hope we get the perfect start we need by getting the needed results against Libya and Nigeria.”
“For Libya, information on them is very scanty but for Nigeria we know a lot about them and their world class players. Yes, It is true I asked my friend Gernot Rohr (Benin head coach) on how to beat Nigeria,” he added.
