Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has asserted that the team is fully prepared for their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda on Friday, dismissing concerns about their previous winless record in the country.
Despite past struggles to secure an away victory against the Amavubi, Troost-Ekong insists that the team is focused on the present challenge. “Actually, we read about that in some places but we are not bothered. I was part of the last game in Kigali which ended scoreless, but we know that we cannot afford a draw this time,” the center-back told thenff.com.
He emphasized the team’s unwavering objective. “Our objective is to pick the three points and bring some life back into our campaign,” Troost-Ekong stated. “We are certainly not concerned about history books and what has happened before now. Qualification for the FIFA World Cup is our priority.”
Troost-Ekong’s comments highlight the team’s determination to overcome past results and secure a vital victory in their quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Sources and related content
