Chidera Ejuke expresses support for the Super Eagles ahead of critical 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe. Although he was not included in the final squad, Ejuke remains optimistic about Nigeria’s chances. The Super Eagles, currently third in their group, need to win both matches to stay in contention for World Cup qualification.
Chidera Ejuke, a Nigerian winger, has publicly supported the Super Eagles as they prepare for two significant 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe. Although Ejuke was named in the provisional 39-man squad by head coach Eric Chelle, he did not make the final cut of 23 players. Regardless of this disappointment, Ejuke retains optimism about Nigeria’s prospects and expresses confidence in his teammates’ ability to achieve success.
Ejuke stated, “We have a lot of players in Nigeria, and believe me, at the end of the day, it’s the coach’s decision, and he knows what he’s doing,” as reported by Brila. He added that he would be pleased to represent Nigeria if given a chance and wished the best for the team as he plans to follow the matches closely, hoping for victories.
His experience at Sevilla has included both achievements and challenges. The 27-year-old quickly established himself as a vital member of the squad but endured a significant setback due to a three-month hamstring injury that interrupted his rise to form. The Super Eagles will first compete against Rwanda in Kigali on March 21, followed by a match against Zimbabwe in Uyo on March 25.
Currently, Nigeria finds itself in a precarious position, sitting third in Group C with merely three points from four matches. They must secure positive results in these upcoming qualifiers to maintain their aspirations for qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Chidera Ejuke’s unwavering support for the Super Eagles highlights the spirit and camaraderie within the team, despite his omission from the final squad. Nigeria faces a critical juncture in their World Cup qualifying journey, needing strong performances against Rwanda and Zimbabwe to keep their hopes alive. Ejuke’s confidence in his teammates may serve as a rallying cry as the team prepares for these essential matches.
