On March 19, 2025, Wizkid took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to commend the team's renewed vigor, stating, "New super eagles team! Love the energy."
The Super Eagles are gearing up for pivotal fixtures during this international break. They are set to face Rwanda's Amavubi at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali on Friday, March 21, 2025, followed by a home match against Zimbabwe's Warriors at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
These matches mark the beginning of a new era under recently appointed head coach Eric Chelle, who previously managed Mali and led them to the quarter-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. The team has been training intensively in Kigali, with players arriving promptly to adapt to Chelle's strategies and bolster their World Cup qualification prospects.
Wizkid's endorsement has resonated with fans and players alike, amplifying the anticipation surrounding the upcoming qualifiers. The Super Eagles currently occupy the fifth position in Group C, trailing the leaders by four points. Securing victories in these matches is imperative for Nigeria to enhance their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, especially with the tournament's expansion to 48 teams offering more opportunities for nations to participate.
