Victor Osimhen has said the Super Eagles' remaining five matches in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers are a “war” that must be fought and won.

The Super Eagles breathed new life into their qualifying campaign with a comfortable 2-0 victory over the Amavubi of Rwanda in Kigali on Friday.

It was their first win in the qualifying series.

The three-time African champions moved to fourth position in Group C with six points from five games.

Eric Chelle's side will host the Warriors of Zimbabwe in their next game at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Tuesday.

Osimhen declared that the Super Eagles are going for maximum points in the game.

“We are ready. The remaining matches are wars, and we must fight them with all that we have to win,” the Galatasaray forward told thenff.com.
