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.

Nigeria’s Egypt friendly in doubt as NFF moves AFCON camp to Morocco

Nigeria’s build up to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations has been disrupted after a late FIFA directive forced the Nigeria Football Federation to redraw its pre tournament schedule, putting the high profile friendly against Egypt in serious doubt.​ FIFA has issued a new circular allowing European clubs to keep African players until 15 December instead of 8 December, cutting national team preparation time and upsetting earlier plans.​ The Super Eagles were initially due to open camp in Cairo on 10 December and face the Pharaohs in a friendly at the Cairo International Stadium four days later, before flying to Morocco for their final preparations.​ With the new FIFA dates, the NFF has now drafted a fresh schedule under which the Super Eagles will open camp on 14 December, just one week before AFCON kicks off, and will hold their […]

Rivers State Commissioner for Sports, Barrister Chris Green, has harshly criticised Nigerian football administrators at The Big Sports Dialogue in Lagos following the Super Eagles’ disappointing World Cup playoff exit.
