Rwanda's national football team stands at the top of their World Cup qualification group, an unexpected position as they aim for their first-ever World Cup appearance. They face Nigeria, who have had a poor run in the qualifiers. Although Nigeria has a long football history with multiple World Cup appearances and a significantly larger population, Rwanda's head coach Stephen Constantine believes the team's effective use of their resources is key. Recent wins have highlighted Rwanda's hidden talent, despite external controversies surrounding the country.
Rwanda may sit atop its World Cup qualification group, but defeating Nigeria on March 21 can bring them closer to their first-ever World Cup appearance.
'It's not about size or population but what you do with what you have, and Rwanda do that well,' said Stephen Constantine, head coach of Rwanda from 2014-15.
Stephen Constantine emphasized that while Rwanda may be underestimated, there's a lot of talent within the country's football scene.
European clubs have signed partnerships with Visit Rwanda, aimed at developing young talent despite controversies involving Rwanda's alleged support of M23 rebels.
