Rwanda’s head coach has issued a strong warning to the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers final matchday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Monday.
The Amavubi suffered a shock defeat at the Amahoro Stadium to Libya and need all three points in Nigeria to give them any chance of qualifying, and also hope Benin Republic don’t get a result in Benghazi.
Nigeria are through to the tournament next year in Morocco as group winners after Libya beat Rwanda, and they picked up a point on the road against Benin Republic.
Speaking at his post-match conference after the defeat to Libya, Rwanda coach Frank Spittler quickly turned his attention to Nigeria and claimed his team would do everything possible.
“As long as there’s a chance to qualify, we will do everything for it, so for sure, we have to win in Nigeria, and that’s what we are trying.

He charged his players to see it as the game of their lives, one they would tell their grandchildren because it was an opportunity to play against world-class players even if they didn’t qualify.
“We showed it in the last match against Nigeria. We can have a good match against them. It’s always the question of are you scoring or are you not scoring. There are bad days like today, and maybe we will have a very nice day in four days,” he concluded.
The team’s social media account also sent a message to the Super Eagles claiming they are coming to fix their AFCON 2025 journey in Nigeria.
