Football Stakeholders, Vincent Okumagba and Samuel Oyameda Ikpea have voiced strong belief in Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite the team’s current struggles in the qualifying rounds.
The Super Eagles, who started brightly with a narrow win against Rwanda in Kigali, were held to a disappointing draw by Zimbabwe at home, a result that left their qualification hopes hanging in the balance.
The Super Eagles have managed just one victory in six games played in the qualifiers, losing one and drawing the remaining four games of the series.
Currently sitting fourth in Group C with seven points, the three-time African champions face an uphill task with four qualifiers left to play.
