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.

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 […]
