Chidera Ejuke Supports Super Eagles Ahead of Crucial World Cup Qualifiers

Nigerian winger Chidera Ejuke supports the Super Eagles ahead of critical World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, despite missing out on the final squad. He remains optimistic about Nigeria’s chances and emphasizes the coach’s decisions. Nigeria, currently third in Group C, must secure wins to maintain their World Cup hopes.
Chidera Ejuke, the Nigerian winger, has expressed his unwavering support for the Super Eagles as they prepare for vital 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe. He was part of the provisional 39-man squad announced by coach Eric Chelle but was ultimately excluded from the final 23-man roster. Despite this setback, Ejuke remains confident in the team’s ability to gain maximum points from both games.
Ejuke emphasized the depth of talent within Nigerian football and 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”. He affirmed his desire to represent Nigeria if given the chance and offered well wishes to his teammates, hoping for victories in the upcoming matches.
The player’s experience at Sevilla has been a mix of success and challenges. Despite establishing himself as an essential player, he faced a significant setback due to a three-month hamstring injury that interrupted his form. The Super Eagles will begin their campaign against Rwanda in Kigali on March 21 and then host Zimbabwe in Uyo just four days later.
Currently, Nigeria finds itself in a precarious position, sitting third in Group C with only three points from four matches. Strong performances in the upcoming qualifiers are imperative for Nigeria to keep their hopes of participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup alive.
Chidera Ejuke’s support for the Super Eagles reflects his confidence in the team’s ability to succeed despite his omission from the final squad. As Nigeria prepares for crucial World Cup qualifier matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, strong performances are essential to revitalize their campaign. With Ejuke watching closely, the team’s resilience and depth will be tested in these decisive fixtures.
