Egypt, Cape Verde face stiff tests in World Cup openers

Egypt and Cape Verde are set for challenging World Cup opener matches, with both African nations preparing to face tough opponents in the 2026 tournament in North America. Egypt, the seven-time African champions, is looking to add to their World Cup legacy after qualifying for the finals as the third African nation to secure a spot. Led by superstar Mohamed Salah, who scored twice in Egypt's decisive 3-0 victory against Djibouti to clinch their spot at the World Cup, the team boasts an impressive unbeaten campaign with 23 points. Having participated in three previous World Cups, Egypt now aims to overcome their historic challenge of not winning a game in the World Cup tournament. Ibrahim Adel opened the scoring in Egypt's qualification match, then Mohamed Salah netted two goals after Adel initiated the scoring, allowing Egypt to triumph over the […]

‘We’re waiting’ – Nigerians divided as FIFA decides World Cup case

Nigerians have reacted with mixed feelings as they await FIFA’s ruling on the country’s petition against DR Congo over the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The decision, expected on Monday, will determine whether Nigeria’s complaint about player eligibility can revive the Super Eagles’ hopes of reaching the tournament. On social media, some fans say they are hopeful but insist Nigeria should not qualify “through the back door” if DR Congo is punished. Others argue that if rules were broken, FIFA must apply sanctions even if it means overturning results decided on the pitch. Nigeria’s petition centres on claims that several DR Congo players held dual nationalities in violation of Congolese law, which reportedly bans dual citizenship. Officials have alleged that some players were cleared despite holding European passports and being over 21, which they say made the process fraudulent. Reports abroad […]

Senegal, team, myself don’t agree with Mane on retirement – Coach Thiaw

Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw says he and the entire Teranga Lions squad do not support Sadio Mane’s suggestion that Sunday’s AFCON 2025 final against Morocco could be his last appearance at the tournament. Thiaw insisted that Mane made the comment “in the heat of the moment” and stressed that “Senegal needs him” for the years and competitions ahead.​ The coach praised Mane’s influence in the semi final win over Egypt and described him as a rare player whose experience and leadership remain vital as Senegal chase more titles and aim to qualify for future World Cups. He expressed hope that the 32‑year‑old forward will reconsider any plans to step back from AFCON duty and instead target more tournaments with the national team.​ Thiaw, who replaced long‑serving boss Aliou Cisse in late 2024, said maintaining continuity around key leaders like […]

Super Eagles: Chelle challenged to continue Nigeria’s renaissance post AFCON

Despite Nigeria’s painful semi final exit at AFCON 2025, stakeholders have challenged Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle to build on the team’s renewed identity and fighting spirit rather than allow the setback to derail recent progress. Many fans and analysts believe the squad’s high‑intensity displays, tactical organisation and improved mentality signal the beginning of a new era for Nigerian football.​ Chelle, appointed in January 2025 on a two‑year deal, has already expressed his desire to stay on, stressing that his long‑term project is to rebuild the Super Eagles into a consistent force in Africa and beyond. However, he admitted that his future rests with the Nigeria Football Federation, which must now decide whether to retain him and consolidate on the gains of the tournament.​ Supporters are urging continuity in technical leadership, better youth development and sustained integration of talented […]

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 […]
