World Cup qualifier: Former Rwandan coach warns Nigeria

Former national football coach of Rwanda, Stephen Constantine, has warned the Super Eagles not to underrate Rwanda in the forthcoming World Cup qualifier billed to take place in Kigali on Friday.
Constantine, now the national coach of Pakistan, was coach of Rwanda 10 years ago.
The Englishman said the size and pedigree of the country has nothing to do with the result to be posted on the pitch.
“It is not by mistake that Rwanda currently tops the table. The team can match any other opponent in Africa and if they are underrated, suprise awaits Nigerians,” he said.

Rwanda with seven points are number one on the group of six while Nigeria is placed fifth with just three points after four games.
South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Benin Republic are other teams in the group.
After the Friday tie against Rwanda, the Eagles will come back to Uyo, Akwa Ibom State to take on Zimbabwe in continuation of the FIFA World Cup qualification series.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup holds in Canada, Mexico and the United State of America.
