So, there is nothing to worry, we respect them. It’s Nigeria—big team, big names—but we as players are focused on us, what we are doing in training.” His comments reflect a steely determination within the Rwandan camp, emphasising self-belief over awe for a Nigerian side packed with talent, including players from Europe’s top leagues. Bizimana, who plays his club football for Ukrainian side Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, acknowledged the quality of the Super Eagles, who boast a roster featuring the likes of Osimhen, former Africa’s Player of the Year and Lookman, the current. Yet, he stressed that Rwanda’s focus remains inward. “There is nothing to be worried about, to be honest,” he reiterated. “We’ll try to give 100%, even 150%, because we know that they are a good team and will want to win this game.” His words suggest a game plan centred on maximum effort and tactical discipline to counter Nigeria’s ambitions. The two nations have indeed crossed paths recently, with Rwanda holding Nigeria to a goalless draw before a shock win in Uyo in the AFCON 2025Q. Those encounters have given Bizimana and his teammates a sense of familiarity and confidence heading into this latest showdown. For Rwanda, currently sitting pretty in their World Cup qualifying group, a positive result against Nigeria could be a game-changer. As the Super Eagles look to bolster their faltering World Cup campaign under new coach Eric Chelle, Rwanda’s fearless approach under Bizimana’s leadership sets the stage for a compelling battle. The captain’s rallying cry signals that the Amavubi are not just there to make up the numbers, they’re ready to push again beyond their limits and take on one of Africa’s footballing giants head-on.
