Nigeria international Ademola Lookman is anticipating a tough test against Rwanda and Zimbabwe in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

The three-time Africa Cup of Nations champions takes Rwanda on Friday, March 21 before hosting Zimbabwe on March 25 in a must-win clash.

Currently sitting fifth in Group C, Nigeria trails Rwanda, South Africa, Benin Republic, and Lesotho.

The Super Eagles has only managed draws against Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and South Africa before suffering a disappointing 2-1 loss to Benin.

With only the top team earning automatic qualification, Nigeria must deliver results quickly to revive qualification hopes.

“No pressure at all. I’m just really happy to be back with the squad and the guys. We’ve got a big challenge ahead, and we’re all excited to take it on.” He said.

Nigeria arrived in Kigali on Monday for their game against Rwanda this Friday.
