2026 WCQ: Super Eagles |
The Super Eagles are determined to recover from their 2-1 loss to Benin Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifier that took place on Monday.
Nigeria has not secured a victory in the series yet, having ended the first three games in draws.
Led by Finidi George, the team initially led the match in Abidjan but suffered two goals against them before the break.
Following the defeat, the team and their coach have returned to their home country.
In a message on X confirming their return, the Eagles stated on their official account: “We have returned to the country and are dissatisfied with the outcomes of the two matches.
“After internal discussions, we have committed to exerting our utmost effort until the final moment to achieve what seems unattainable, which is to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
