AFCON 2025 Babangida Ikpeba back Super Eagles to restore pride

Atlanta 1996 Olympic gold medallists Tijani Babangida and Victor Ikpeba say the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco is a crucial chance for the Super Eagles to repair Nigeria’s football image after failing to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They noted that missing the World Cup for a second straight time still hurts players, officials and fans, making AFCON the key opportunity to restore national pride.​ Babangida told Tribalfootball he was disappointed with the Super Eagles’ display in the playoff defeat to DR Congo, saying the Congolese looked better organised and more determined on the day. He believes winning AFCON would help heal the emotional wounds of supporters who were left devastated by that loss.​ He is confident Nigeria can reach the final and possibly end their 12 year wait for a fourth continental crown. However, he […]

Chippa United worried over Nwabali’s fitness for AFCON

Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is a major doubt for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco after fresh concerns over his fitness. Chippa United head coach Vusimuzi Vilakazi revealed that the 28 year old is nursing both an ankle problem and a more serious hand injury that may require surgery.​ Vilakazi said the injuries were made worse during Nwabali’s recent outing with the Super Eagles. He warned that the keeper “could miss out” on the tournament, describing his availability as a huge doubt for Nigeria.​ Nwabali has not played for Chippa United since Nigeria’s AFCON playoff defeat to DR Congo on penalties last month. His continued absence from club duty and medical reports pointing to a possible operation have increased fears that he will not be ready before the competition kicks off in Rabat on December […]

 FIFA rule shifts Nigeria vs Egypt friendly to Dec 16

Nigeria’s pre AFCON friendly match against Egypt has been moved to Tuesday December 16 due to FIFA regulations on international fixtures. The game was initially scheduled for an earlier date but had to be adjusted to fall within the approved window.​ According to officials the change was made to comply with FIFA rules on player release periods for national team matches. Clubs are only obliged to release players within specific dates which affected the original plan for the Super Eagles vs Pharaohs clash.​ The match remains a key part of both teams’ preparation for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. Coaches of Nigeria and Egypt are expected to use the friendly to assess tactics fitness levels and squad depth before the tournament.​ Fans are advised to note the new date as organisers work to maintain all other arrangements for the […]

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 […]

Troost Ekong explains decision to retire from Super Eagles

Former Super Eagles captain William Troost Ekong has explained why he chose to retire from international football ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.​ The 32 year old centre back officially ended almost a decade of service to Nigeria on Thursday, even though he was named in coach Eric Chelle’s provisional squad for next year’s AFCON.​ Troost Ekong said he felt it was the right moment to step aside and allow a younger generation of defenders to take over, noting that the team already has strong leaders who are ready to carry the mantle.​ He described his decision as part of a natural progression, adding that there is “an art in knowing when to step away”, even if part of him would have loved to lift the AFCON trophy and play at one more World Cup.​ The […]

Super Eagles and the ‘curse’ of the white Naija jersey

Nigeria’s Super Eagles are once again under scrutiny as fans revive talk of a “curse” linked to the team’s white ‘Naija’ jersey. Since Nike introduced the bold white design with “Naija” emblazoned across the chest, several of the team’s most disappointing results have come while wearing it, turning the kit into a symbol of squandered chances in the eyes of many supporters.​ The current white strip, launched for the 2024–2025 cycle, features a predominantly white base, green hoops on the sleeves and shorts, and a striking “Naija” inscription in green across the front. It was meant to project confidence and national pride, but has instead become associated with limp displays, missed chances and dropped points in key qualifiers and friendlies.​ For a footballing nation as passionate as Nigeria, repeated misfortune in the same jersey naturally feeds superstition. Some fans now […]

Benjamin Fredrick ruled out of AFCON 2025

Super Eagles defender Benjamin Fredrick has been ruled out of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after suffering a knee injury during a training session with his club. The setback is a major blow for Nigeria, as the youngster was one of the standout performers in the country’s unsuccessful bid to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.​ Fredrick, who is on the books of English club Brentford, is currently on loan at Belgian side Dender FC for the 2025–26 season to gain first-team experience. He has been a regular under Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle since making his debut against Jamaica at the Unity Cup earlier this year.​ Such has been his impact that he displaced team captain William Troost-Ekong from the starting lineup during the last round of World Cup qualifiers. The 20-year-old centre-back was widely expected to be […]

UCL: Osimhen to Miss Gala’s UCL Tie Against Saint-Gilloise

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will be absent for Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League fixture against Belgium’s Union Saint-Gilloise due to a minor hamstring tear picked up in international duty. Osimhen was substituted off at halftime during Nigeria’s World Cup qualifier with DR Congo and returned to his club for immediate treatment. Initial scans confirm a minor injury expected to sideline him for several days. Osimhen, top scorer in the competition with six goals, will be re-evaluated on Friday to determine his availability for upcoming fixtures, including the crucial Turkish league derby with Fenerbahce. He was seen supporting Galatasaray from the stands and exiting with teammate Henry Onyekuru. His absence opens the opportunity for rivals Harry Kane, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappé, each only one goal behind, to overtake him in the Champions League scoring charts.

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 […]
