Stakeholders Demand Probe After Nigeria’s World Cup Bid Fails

Football stakeholders in Nigeria are demanding an urgent investigation into the failings of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after the Super Eagles’ campaign to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup ended in defeat to DR Congo. Allegations of corruption and poor management have surfaced, with ex-internationals Harrison Jalla and Adegoke Adelabu insisting the sport needs a complete overhaul. Nigeria missed the 2022 and now 2026 tournaments despite the government allocating N1 billion for the recent playoff, and players reportedly went on strike over unpaid allowances. Critics say the NFF lacks transparency and accountability, running “like a cult.” They urge President Tinubu to dissolve the current board, probe the failed campaign, and initiate serious reforms. Adelabu called for a panel to evaluate the failures and recommend fixes, while Theodore Chukwuemeka bemoaned Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup, calling it a […]

Tinubu to Super Eagles: Put Your Loss to DRC Behind, Prepare for AFCON

Scotland Face World Cup Shootout Against Denmark After Greece Defeat

Scotland are set for a dramatic winner-takes-all showdown against Denmark on Tuesday after narrowly losing 3-2 to Greece in their penultimate World Cup qualifier. Despite falling 3-0 behind in Piraeus, Steve Clarke’s men staged a spirited comeback but could not complete the turnaround as Belarus held group leaders Denmark to a surprise 2-2 draw in Copenhagen. Denmark now lead Group C by a single point and can afford to draw in Glasgow, owing to their superior goal difference. Scotland, aiming to reach their first World Cup since 1998, must win to secure automatic qualification. Captain Andy Robertson expressed relief at still being in contention, emphasizing the historic opportunity awaiting Scotland at Hampden Park. Although disappointed by the Greece result, the team remains focused on clinching the World Cup berth or, failing that, entering the play-offs. The decisive match promises high […]
