Rwandas head coach, Torsten Frank Spittler, has expressed his disappointment with the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying draw, Soccernet.ng reports.
Rwanda, also known as the Amavubi, will face Nigeria, Benin Republic, and Libya in a challenging Group D. This is not the only time Rwanda will meet Nigeria and Benin, as they are also in the same group for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Spittler has led Rwanda to a strong start in the World Cup qualifiers. The Amavubi have won two games and drawn one out of their four matches, sharing the top spot in Group C with South Africa and Benin.
They are currently ahead of Nigeria by four points and are aiming to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in history. However, only one of the six teams in Group C can make it to the World Cup, making their mission a tough one.
The AFCON qualification seems more attainable, as the top two teams from the group will secure a spot in the tournament set to take place in Morocco in 2025.
