The Super Eagles of Nigeria will kick off their preparations for the crucial FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Sunday, March 16.

The three-time African champions will resume their World Cup campaign with two matches, facing Rwanda on March 21 and Zimbabwe on March 25.

Eric Chelle's team will travel to Rwanda to take on the Amanuvi at the Amahoro Stadium, before returning home to play against Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

The invited Super Eagles players are expected to arrive in Kigali from March 16 ahead of the first game.

Having initially named a 39-man provisional squad for the qualifiers, Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is expected to reduce the squad to 23 players in the coming days.

After four matches in the campaign, the 2023 AFCON finalists are still searching for their first win.

The Super Eagles have managed just three points in Group C, trailing Rwanda, Benin, and Zimbabwe.
