The dates for the first two of the remaining six 2026 World Cup qualifying matches for the Super Eagles have been confirmed.

Nigeria will travel to Rwanda on March 21 before returning home for the second leg of the encounter against Zimbabwe.

Nigeria are currently at risk of missing out on the 2026 World Cup, set to be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, but the fixtures in Marchare crucial as victories in those games are expected to reignite their qualification hopes.

After the two games in March, the team will also regroup in September and October for their last four games in the Series before plotting their route to a fourth AFCON title in December.
