World Cup play off: Super Eagles’ hopes fade as FIFA confirms DRC spot

Nigeria’s hopes of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup have suffered a final blow after world football body FIFA confirmed DR Congo as Africa’s representative in the inter confederation play off tournament. In a tournament accreditation notice and subsequent communications, FIFA listed DR Congo among the six teams that will compete in the play off, leaving no space for the Super Eagles, who had challenged their defeat to the Congolese side. Nigeria lost to DR Congo in the intercontinental play off final in Rabat, with the match ending 1–1 in regulation time before the Leopards won 4–3 on penalties to claim Africa’s last slot. The Nigeria Football Federation later petitioned FIFA, alleging that some DR Congo players were ineligible and that competition rules had been breached, but FIFA ruled that all the players were properly registered and cleared to play.

‘We’re waiting’ – Nigerians divided as FIFA decides World Cup case

Nigerians have reacted with mixed feelings as they await FIFA’s ruling on the country’s petition against DR Congo over the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The decision, expected on Monday, will determine whether Nigeria’s complaint about player eligibility can revive the Super Eagles’ hopes of reaching the tournament. On social media, some fans say they are hopeful but insist Nigeria should not qualify “through the back door” if DR Congo is punished. Others argue that if rules were broken, FIFA must apply sanctions even if it means overturning results decided on the pitch. Nigeria’s petition centres on claims that several DR Congo players held dual nationalities in violation of Congolese law, which reportedly bans dual citizenship. Officials have alleged that some players were cleared despite holding European passports and being over 21, which they say made the process fraudulent. Reports abroad […]

Iwobi hopes Super Eagles still make 2026 World Cup

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. He said the choice is difficult because lifting the AFCON trophy would be a huge legacy, but many of his teammates have never played at a World Cup and dream of doing so.​ He explained that he has already experienced the World Cup in 2018, so he does not want to be selfish by choosing AFCON glory at the expense of his […]

Super Eagles crush Mozambique to reach AFCON quarterfinals

Nigeria’s Super Eagles powered into the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinals with a dominant 4 0 victory over Mozambique at the Complexe Sportif de Fès in Morocco.

The Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco has entered the knockout phase, shifting from cautious group stage management to all or nothing football as the Round of 16 begins this weekend.​For Nigeria and other contenders, every decision, mistake and moment now carries far greater weight than early group form.​ Nigeria head into the knockouts as one of the most impressive sides after a perfect group record, free scoring performances and effective squad rotation that secured qualification with a game to spare.​However, a late scare in their 3 2 win over Tunisia underlined how quickly control can slip at this stage and how fine the margins now are.​ Algeria also progressed with maximum points, showing a level of control they lacked in recent editions, while Egypt relied on structure and efficiency to get through.​By contrast, defending champions Côte d’Ivoire and perennial […]
