Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi says he is still hopeful that Nigeria will feature at the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite uncertainty over their qualification status.​ Speaking to Supersport Football, the Fulham star admitted the team is in a “waiting” situation as the country looks to FIFA for a possible lifeline after losing their playoff to the Democratic Republic of Congo.​ Iwobi was asked whether he would rather win the 2025 AFCON or qualify for the World Cup.
