Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari has been earmarked as one player who could make a difference against Nigeria in Saturday's 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

The Super Eagles will host Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, knowing only a victory will suffice on the day.

Eric Chelle's charges enter the clash against Rwanda in fourth spot, nine points behind Group C leaders South Africa.

Nigerian publication Soccernet has listed players they feel could hurt the Super Eagles, with Ntwari making the list.

Ntwari is yet to make a competitive appearance for Chiefs this season, having been named on the bench for all five league matches this campaign.

"The 25-year-old Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper has been second fiddle for his club side since the last time Rwanda played against the Super Eagles," the publication wrote.

"However, he made four crucial saves against Nigeria when both sides locked horns in November 2024, and could be pivotal at the Nest of Champions in two days."
