How internal power tussle and filing errors cost Super Eagles 2026 World Cup ticket

Nigeria’s failure to reach the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been linked to serious administrative errors and turf battles between the Nigeria Football Federation and the National Sports Commission. Fresh findings show that the protest Nigeria filed over Democratic Republic of Congo’s alleged use of ineligible players was submitted nearly two weeks late and without the mandatory 1,000 Swiss Francs fee required by FIFA. Sources said the error ridden protest letter was not drafted by the NFF’s legal chief, Barrister Okey Obi, who has experience with FIFA procedures, but was instead prepared by lawyers linked to the National Sports Commission. According to insiders, the NSC stepped in under the guise of assisting the NFF but effectively bypassed the federation’s internal legal department and took over the drafting of the petition. Those familiar with the case said the NSC lawyers were […]

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.

Chelle’s Marseille move collapses after club hires new coach

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle is no longer in the running to become manager of Olympique Marseille after the French club appointed Habib Beye as their new head coach. The decision ends days of speculation linking Chelle with the Ligue 1 side following the exit of Roberto De Zerbi.

Reports say Chelle had shown strong interest in the Marseille job as he seeks a return to club management in Europe.
