Mikel Obi Demands NFF Overhaul If Nigeria Misses 2026 World Cup

Former Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, has warned that the entire Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) board should be replaced if Nigeria fails to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Nigeria is currently struggling in the World Cup qualifiers, trailing South Africa in Group C.

Mikel criticized the NFF's inefficiency and highlighted the team's failure to qualify for the last World Cup. He urged the government to intervene if necessary.

This statement comes as a wake-up call for Nigerian football authorities to address internal issues and improve the national team's performance to secure a spot in the upcoming World Cup.
