 Super Eagles will qualify for 2026 World Cup – NFF President Gusau


The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Ibrahim Gusau, is optimistic that the Super Eagles will secure a berth at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Super Eagles failed to achieve automatic qualification for the tournament but have another opportunity through the African playoffs.

Should they win the tie, they will meet either the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon or the Leopards of the Democratic Republic of Congo in the final.

Gusau stated that the Super Eagles possess the quality to win the mini-tournament.

“We believe in the players and their ability to make Nigeria proud, not only on Thursday, but throughout these playoffs. We have a team capable of earning a World Cup ticket,” Gusau told thenff.com.
