WC 2026 Qualifiers: Constantine insists ex-side Amavubi are no pushovers

Former Amavubi coach Stephen Constantine says Rwanda aren’t pushovers and people should start rewriting their notes about the country's football.

Rwanda has had a brilliant campaign so far during the World Cup 2026 qualifiers where they top Group C with 7 points ahead of African giants like Nigeria (5th) and South Africa (2nd).

They stunned South Africa 2-0 in Huye and registered a 1-0 win against Lesotho in Durban. They also recorded a draw and a defeat against Zimbabwe and Benin respectively.

Constantine, who coached Amavubi from 2014 to 2015, says the size of Rwanda doesn't matter and they can face and perform well against any big country on the African continent.

Constantine believes Rwanda is not given the required recognition in football though the country has some good talents.

"I think Rwanda is underestimated to a large degree but there's talent in Rwanda, lots of talent. That is what happens when you give players time and opportunity to develop," he added.

Amavubi will host Nigeria at Amahoro Stadium on Friday, March 21 before welcoming Lesotho on March 25 at the same ground.

Major debut tests for Adel

New head coach Adel Amrouche has a tough task to prove his worth and continue where his predecessor Torsten Spittler left off and the upcoming two World Cup 2026 come as real tests for him to show Rwandans how far he can take the team throughout the campaign.

Amrouche brought back youngster Hakim Sahabo and Raphael York who hadn't been called up since June 2024 after Spittler snubbed them for what he termed as ‘bad behavior.’

The German coach accused Sahabo of causing problems than bringing solutions to the dressing room while York hadn't made it into his squad ever since he was found to have lied about his fitness which nearly cost the team during their match against Benin.

Pay close attention to how Chelle and Simon Moses hugged like they were old time buddies, maybe the French league connection?

I am sorry, I cant confirm that they will NOT be distracted. I have been to Kigali, as well, and during the weekends, some of the most beautiful women in the world, cross the border to come spend the weekend in Kigali -- Tanzanian women.

Make we kukuma play on Friday and then evacuate our boys immediately after match

I was just saying to myself that those of us who want Simon out of the team and in for a long one. The good thing is that while Simon is brainless, I have followed him this season. Along with Albine, they have been saving Nantes this season. Even though I do NOT like him as a player, on MERIT, HE DESERVES TO BE CALLED! NO QUESTIONS!

Him and Chelle hung out when Chelle went to visit him, remember? So not surprised.

Saw that too and wanted to comment.

Def a French Connection.
Someone even said Chelle’s hometown is Nantes.

I heard some things.
Like that I heard one of the players say, "the coach said no interviews".
The Journalist seem to be using his Ray Ban glasses to record them nicodamusly.
Couldn't help but notice one or two Rwandan beauties going about their business in the hotel.

Osimhen should be captain

Yes!!

That outburst against Finidi last year shows he still has some growing up to do. The same inexperience in harnessing his hormones is the reason why he's not yet a reliable penalty taker. Perhaps he'll have learned how to be wiser with his choice of words and his nerves by the time Troost retires. I love Vic, but for now Troost is my much deserved captain.

I am really confused as to why he struggles with penalty kicks.
