New super eagles team! Love the energy — Wizkid (@wizkidayo) March 19, 2025 The Essence crooner is one of Nigeria’s biggest music exports. He has accrued over a billion worth of streams of his music across several platforms. Still, he has some sort of football DNA in him. In 2023, ahead of his More Love, Less Ego concert at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Wizkid was seen showing off his football skills. Wizkid’s support will be a massive boost for the Super Eagles stars who are big fans of his music on all grounds. Alex Iwobi was seen at his concert a few years back. Nigeria will trade tackles with Rwanda in Kigali on March 21 before returning to the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo to lock horns with Zimbabwe four days later. The two games are must-win fixtures for the Super Eagles, who have endured a torrid start to the World Cup qualifying campaign.
