NFF steps up pursuit of Newcastle’s Osula for Eagles

The Nigeria Football Federation has intensified efforts to convince Newcastle United forward William Osula to switch his international allegiance from Denmark to the Super Eagles. The 22 year old, who joined Newcastle from Sheffield United, has enjoyed a surge in form in recent weeks after a slow start to the season, highlighted by a decisive goal against Manchester United that boosted his profile in the Premier League. Osula, who has Nigerian roots and has endeared himself to local fans with a viral clip of him cooking Ogbono soup while playfully mocking opponents, remains eligible to represent multiple countries. Born in Copenhagen to a Danish mother and a Nigerian French father, he has played for Denmark at youth level and recently received a senior call up but is yet to make a competitive appearance. Reports suggest the NFF has opened contacts […]

Ajibade blasts NFF over poor Falcons WAFCON plans

Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has criticised the Nigeria Football Federation over what she called poor preparation for upcoming tournaments, including the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. In a series of posts on her Instagram story on Wednesday, she expressed frustration that the NFF had not officially communicated key details such as the opening date of the national team camp and confirmed friendly matches for the April international window. Ajibade shared a screenshot of a chat that appeared to show an NFF official informally telling her that camp would open on April 11. She condemned the lack of formal notice, saying players were still in the dark about camp logistics and preparatory games for the window running from April 7 to 18. She reminded the federation that the team is not only […]

Super Eagles unhappy as NFF withholds Turkey appearance fees

Super Eagles players have expressed disappointment after the Nigeria Football Federation failed to pay their agreed appearance fees for the recent friendly matches against Iran and Jordan in Antalya, Turkey. The team defeated Iran 2 1 and drew 2 2 with Jordan during the March international window. Reports say the friendlies were organised by the Jordan Football Association, which will pay the NFF an appearance fee for Nigeria’s participation. However, despite this, the players were not paid their own appearance entitlements at the end of the games. According to sources quoted by ScoreNigeria, each player is entitled to 2,000 dollars per match, but no payment was made for either of the two fixtures. The players were said to be angry and accused the NFF of making empty promises and failing once again to honour financial agreements. This is not the […]

Atletico Madrid unhappy with NFF over Lookman’s workload

Atletico Madrid are reportedly unhappy with the Nigeria Football Federation over the heavy workload given to winger Ademola Lookman during the recent international break. The Spanish club is concerned that the forward played the full 180 minutes across Nigeria’s two friendly matches against Iran and Jordan. Reports from Spanish outlet AS say Atletico had been carefully managing Lookman’s minutes since his move to the club, with coach Diego Simeone rarely allowing him to complete full games in La Liga, the Copa del Rey or the UEFA Champions League. In most starts, the most he has played for Atletico is around 73 minutes. However, during the Super Eagles’ friendlies, Lookman played 89 minutes in the 2 1 win over Iran and then completed the entire 2 2 draw against Jordan in Antalya, Turkey. Atletico view this as excessive, especially as the […]

Super Eagles line up Jordan friendly as World Cup fate hangs on FIFA ruling

Nigeria’s Super Eagles have scheduled an international friendly against Jordan in Amman next month, even as their 2026 World Cup fate remains uncertain. The match is expected to hold during the March 23–31 FIFA window and would be the first ever senior meeting between the two countries. Jordan, nicknamed The Chivalrous Ones, will use the game as part of preparations for their debut World Cup appearance, where they will face Argentina, Algeria and Austria in the group stage. For Nigeria, the fixture is designed to keep the team active and assess new players while waiting for FIFA’s verdict on their eligibility protest against DR Congo. The Nigeria Football Federation has challenged DR Congo’s use of several players in last year’s African play off final, claiming they switched allegiance without fully meeting FIFA rules and referencing dual citizenship issues. A decision […]

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 […]

He argued that if Nigeria truly wants the Super Eagles to excel at the highest level, the team must be led by a competent Nigerian.​ Maharaj ji urged the NFF to stop “falling for their games” by repeatedly hiring foreign coaches for the national team. He insisted that any Nigerian appointed should receive the same pay and privileges usually given to European coaches.​ He added that a local coach should not be sacked at the first sign […]
