KRC Genk forward Tolu Arokodare has been handed a spot in Eric Chelle’s 23-man squad for Nigeria’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe. This inclusion fulfills Arokodare’s long-standing dream of representing the Super Eagles and playing alongside top stars like Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen.
In an earlier interview with Arokodare, he expressed his admiration for the Nigerian national team, praising its attacking talent and team spirit. He specifically mentioned his desire to play alongside Osimhen and Lookman, whom he considers to be among Nigeria’s top players.
Arokodare’s impressive form for KRC Genk, where he has scored 18 goals and provided six assists across all competitions, made a strong case for his inclusion in the Super Eagles squad. His physical presence and goal-scoring ability make him a valuable addition to Chelle’s team.
Nigeria is gearing up for two crucial World Cup qualifiers, and Arokodare’s inclusion in the squad is expected to boost the team’s chances of securing maximum points. The Super Eagles will face Rwanda and Zimbabwe, with the hope of reviving their qualification campaign.
