Former governor of Edo State, Chief Lucky Igbinedion, has expressed confidence that the Super Eagles have what it takes to conquer Rwanda on their home soil when both countries meet in March for a 2026 World Cup qualifier in Kigali.
Chief Igbinedion, while speaking at this year’s edition of the Kada Unity Cup at his Etete Sports Complex in Benin City, emphasized the importance of Nigeria’s participation in the World Cup. He stated, “As you know, we are very passionate about our Super Eagles. Every right-thinking Nigerian would want our flag hoisted at the 2026 World Cup. We have highly talented young players scattered across Europe doing very well in their various clubs. So qualifying for the World Cup shouldn’t give us sleepless nights.”
The former governor also highlighted the unifying power of football, noting that the Kada Unity Cup aims to foster unity among military and paramilitary organizations in the State. The competition, which includes various incentives, has drawn a large crowd, showcasing the love for the sport and its ability to bring people together.
