2026 WCQ: "Job Not Finished" - Tolu Arokodare Targets Victory Against Bafana Bafana

Wolverhampton Wanderers of England new signing, Tolu Arokodare says the race for qualification for next year's FIFA World Cup is not done yet after the Super Eagles defeated Rwanda in Uyo, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Nigeria rekindled their interest in a ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals after Arokodare’s 51st minute goal secured three points off Rwanda at Uyo’s Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Saturday, and took the Super Eagles’ haul to 10 in the campaign.

According to the striker in an X post on his handle, "Three points! We keep pushing, job’s not finished."

The Super Eagles are still in third place and six points off leaders South Africa, whom they confront in Bloemfontein on Tuesday, but the stark possibility of the Bafana Bafana losing three points and three goals due to the use of an ineligible player in a previous game means the Eagles still have a chance.

Benin Republic’s Cheetahs, in second place following their 1-0 win over Zimbabwe in Abidjan on Friday, have a final-day tango with the Super Eagles on 14th October.

The Super Eagles’ win, achieved in a gritty contest with the Amavubi, and South Africa’s 3-0 rout of Lesotho in Bloemfontein on Friday, means Tuesday’s showdown between the Eagles and the Bafana in a freezing evening in South Africa’s judicial capital will be nothing short of a flaming war.
