They will then travel to Kigali to face Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium on September 10, 2024.
After finishing as runners-up in the 2023 AFCON, Nigeria is eager to push for the title and bring the gold medal home. However, their path to success is uncertain as they currently lack a head coach. Finidi George, the previous head coach, resigned due to reported issues with the Nigeria Football Federation.
With the coaching position still vacant and less than a month remaining before their first qualifying match, the Super Eagles face significant challenges as they prepare for these crucial fixtures.
