Super Eagles and Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface has expressed the national team’s eagerness to face Rwanda in their upcoming World Cup qualifier, emphasizing their unwavering determination to secure a spot in the prestigious tournament.
The Super Eagles endured a disappointing start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, failing to secure a win in their first four matches, with three draws followed by a frustrating loss to Benin.
Following their dismal start, the Super Eagles now find themselves in a precarious must-win situation, where anything less than a victory against Rwanda will effectively shatter their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
In an exclusive interview with football journalist Victor Modo, Victor Boniface emphasized the importance of securing a win: “We are looking forward to the game, we know how important this game is to us and as a country. We need to be at the World Cup so I can speak for myself and the other players, we are ready to give our best and hopefully get out with a win.”

Boniface further highlighted the team’s commitment to representing the country to the best of their abilities. “It’s been really top, like I said it doesn’t really matter who the coach is, we know how big we are as a country, so no matter who we are working with, we always want to give our 100%.”
The striker concluded by reiterating the team’s readiness and enthusiasm for the upcoming match, urging fans to continue supporting them: “Everyone is ready and looking forward to the game. We hope we can achieve our aim so hopefully we can get the win. Keep believing in us and keep supporting the team.”
Victor Boniface will also be seeking to achieve a personal milestone, as he aims to score his first competitive goal for the Super Eagles in his tenth competitive appearance, in a bid to drive the team’s quest to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
