Nigeria’s World Cup Hopes Boosted by CAF Rule Change

Nigeria's chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup have received a significant boost due to a rule change by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The adjustment was made after Eritrea's withdrawal from the competition, which left some groups with only five teams. To ensure fairness, CAF has decided that when determining the best runners-up, results against the bottom-placed team in each group will not be counted. This change benefits Nigeria, as the points they earned against the current bottom team in their group would be excluded from the final calculation for the runner-up ranking. This improves their standing compared to other second-place teams. The Super Eagles now have a clearer path to qualification as they prepare for their upcoming matches against Lesotho and Benin, aiming to secure a spot in the World Cup after missing the 2022 […]

FIFA opens case against South Africa over ineligible player

FIFA has officially opened disciplinary proceedings against the South African Football Association (SAFA) for fielding Teboho Mokoena, an ineligible player, during a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Lesotho in March. According to South African outlet SABC Sport, FIFA confirmed in a letter dated September 15, 2025, that both Mokoena and SAFA face charges of breaching disciplinary regulations, including the fielding of an ineligible player. The case has been referred to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, with SAFA and the player given six days to submit their defence. Mokoena, 28, should have been suspended for the Lesotho match after accumulating two yellow cards earlier in the qualifiers — first against Benin in November 2023 and then against Zimbabwe in June 2024. Under FIFA rules, this automatically triggered a one-match ban. If found guilty, Bafana Bafana could be forced to forfeit the result, […]

World Cup Qualifier: Super Eagles Eye Crucial Revival vs Rwanda

Nigeria’s Super Eagles face Rwanda in Uyo on Saturday in what is widely regarded as a defining clash for their fragile 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. The three-time African champions are at a crossroads. Having missed the 2022 finals in Qatar, Nigeria now risk consecutive failures — a prospect that would severely dent the country’s proud footballing legacy. So far, the qualifiers have been frustrating. Despite conceding only one goal in six matches, Nigeria have been held to four draws, undermining their chances of topping Group C. For a squad stacked with talent, the lack of victories has left fans restless and anxious. Rwanda, meanwhile, arrive as underdogs but cannot be underestimated. They have lost two of their last four qualifiers and struggle away from home, dropping 60% of recent matches on the road. Yet their pace and discipline […]

Chelsea’s Club World Cup Trophy in White House

A recent White House photo of US President Donald Trump meeting world leaders has sparked widespread curiosity — not about politics, but about football. In the background of the Oval Office, eagle-eyed fans spotted an unexpected trophy: the FIFA Club World Cup, which Chelsea won after defeating Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in July 2025 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The sight of Chelsea’s silverware sitting in the world’s most powerful office quickly went viral, raising questions about how the trophy ended up there. Trump’s Claim About the Trophy Following Chelsea’s victory in July, President Trump explained in an interview with DAZN that tournament organizers told him the trophy could stay in the Oval Office as a symbolic gesture to the United States for hosting the competition. “I said, ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy?’ [They said] ‘We’re […]

Where Did Waka Waka Royalties for Africa Go?

Fifteen years after the electrifying success of “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”—the official anthem of the 2010 FIFA World Cup—questions are resurfacing about the fate of the royalties meant to benefit African charities. Despite its global smash—garnering over 4.3 billion views on YouTube and almost a billion Spotify streams—evidence of charitable distribution remains unclear. According to Freshlyground, the South African band that collaborated with Shakira on the track, clarity has been elusive. Co-founder Simon Attwell revealed that while the original agreement stated proceeds would aid African causes, the details of the charity beneficiaries have shifted over time from being chosen by artists to being allocated solely by Shakira, then handed over to FIFA’s “20 Centres for 2010” initiative. But here’s the twist—the “20 Centres for 2010” campaign reportedly concluded in 2014. That means royalties have continued flowing ever since, […]
