The first training session of the Rwandan National team in preparation for their clash against the Super Eagles of Nigeria was concluded on Sunday as head coach Adel Amrouche trained with invited players for the first time since he was appointed.
According to the Rwandan FA, the training’s focus was on helping players overcome fatigue especially those who played with their various club sides before making the trip to join the rest of the team.
The highly anticipated clash between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Rwanda’s Amavubi is set to take place at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali by 6pm on March 21. While Rwanda currently sit top of the World Cup qualifying group with seven points, they will still need to avoid a loss against the Super Eagles who are fifth with three points.
Despite participating in the qualifying rounds several times, Rwanda have never succeeded in advancing to the World Cup. As such, the current crop of players will be highly motivated to make history by securing qualification to the global tournament in 2026 which will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Six players including Victor Osimhen, Tolu Arokodare, Bruno Onyemaechi, Papa Daniel, Ama Obasogie, and Kayode Bankole have all arrived at the Eagles camp as well as assistant coaches and head coach, Eric Chelle.
While Rwanda’s first training session was completed yesterday, the Super Eagles are scheduled to hold their first training this evening, where they will also meet newly appointed head coach, Eric Chelle.
