Tinubu to Super Eagles: Put Your Loss to DRC Behind, Prepare for AFCON

President Bola Tinubu has encouraged Nigeria’s Super Eagles to move beyond their painful World Cup play-off loss to DR Congo and prepare for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) scheduled for January–February 2026 in Morocco. Despite their elimination after a dramatic penalty shootout (1-1, 4-3 penalties) in Morocco, Tinubu praised the team’s efforts and perseverance throughout the qualifiers. He emphasized the need for collective support, urging football administrators, players, and all stakeholders to focus on rebuilding and addressing gaps ahead of AFCON. “Notwithstanding the unfortunate loss, we must commend the players for their efforts and continue to support them.

Osimhen Eyes More Goals as Nigeria Targets World Cup Qualification

Prolific Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen remains the key figure for the Super Eagles as they clash with DR Congo in a decisive World Cup qualification playoff on Sunday in Rabat. The high-stakes match will determine which team advances to the six-nation intercontinental tournament in Mexico next March, keeping their hopes alive for a place at the expanded 2026 World Cup in North America. Osimhen, 2023 African Player of the Year, continues to impress—scoring a hat-trick in the recent demolition of Benin, and adding two more in Nigeria’s 4-1 extra-time win over Gabon in Thursday’s semi-final. Although the Super Eagles are favourites and rank 19 places higher than DR Congo, coach Eric Chelle said the team must deliver another passionate, collective performance to prevail. For Osimhen and Nigeria, missing consecutive World Cups is unthinkable, with the striker pledging to make amends […]

NSC Intervenes in Super Eagles Allowance Protest in Morocco

The National Sports Commission (NSC) has intervened to resolve the Super Eagles' protest in Morocco over delayed camp allowances and bonuses ahead of their crucial 2026 World Cup playoff against Gabon in Rabat. Disturbing reports of a possible player boycott surfaced after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) failed to settle outstanding payments, raising concerns about Nigeria's World Cup hopes. NSC Director General Bukola Olopade personally intervened, leading to players reconsidering a full protest. Players are demanding increased match bonuses—from $5,000 to $15,000—and fulfillment of federal promises after their AFCON 2025 silver medal. Allegations also surfaced about wider NFF financial mismanagement, prompting calls for a federal probe. Supporters and stakeholders expressed fears reminiscent of previous crises that derailed Nigeria's football campaigns, such as at France ‘98. Labour Party's Peter Obi also criticized authorities for neglecting the players' welfare, urging dignity and […]

World Cup Qualifiers: Peter Obi Slams FG Over Unpaid Super Eagles Allowances

Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has strongly criticized the Federal Government over reports that the Super Eagles boycotted training ahead of Thursday’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup playoff against Gabon in Rabat, Morocco. Obi expressed disappointment that players representing Nigeria continue to be owed allowances, describing the situation as “truly unfortunate” and shameful, with “needless lavish spending and political patronage” prioritized over rewarding service and patriotism. Obi urged authorities to resolve the standoff and ensure athletes are treated with dignity and paid promptly. The boycott disrupted preparations just two days before the vital qualifier match that could determine Nigeria’s spot at the World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Reports indicate unresolved financial issues between the team and football authorities, with all squad members and staff refusing to train over unpaid bonuses. Obi warned this sends the wrong […]
