Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman will lead Nigeria’s attack against Rwanda as Eric Chelle named his starting eleven in the 2026 World Cup qualifier.

This is Chelle’s first official outing and starting XI since he took charge of the team in January.

Currently 5th in Group C with three points, Nigeria will have to win all its matches left to stand a chance of qualifying automatically to next year’s finals in USA, Mexico, and Canada.

The starting eleven consists of players who have been featured consistently for the clubs in recent times.

Stanley Nwabali retains his position in goal. The back four is made up of captain William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, Bright Osayi-Samuel. Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi are expected to control proceedings from the middle, while Samuel Chukwueze and Moses Simon operate from the flanks.
Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman are expected to convert chances created.
