Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has urged his teammates to stay focused as they face Zimbabwe tomorrow. (25/3/2027)
The 31-year-old defender emphasized the importance of avoiding complacency despite their recent victory.
Nigeria recently defeated Rwanda 2-0 in Kigali, thanks to a brace from Victor Osimhen.
Troost-Ekong played the full match, helping secure a crucial win that revived their FIFA World Cup qualification hopes.
However, he reminded the team that the journey is far from over.
“We can’t afford to drop points at this stage,” he said.
The Super Eagles currently sit fourth in their group for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Their upcoming match at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium is a must-win as Zimbabwe occupies the bottom spot.
Coach Eric Chelle has echoed similar sentiments, calling for a united and focused approach.
