Briefly

Rwanda's historic position atop their World Cup qualification group puts them on the verge of possibly qualifying for the tournament if they defeat Nigeria. Although ranked significantly lower, under coach Stephen Constantine, Rwanda is said to possess hidden talent that is being developed. Recent victories over South Africa and Lesotho hint at the potential for their squad. However, challenges remain, as Nigeria, a football powerhouse, comes into the match with substantially more experience and a larger resource base.
