NFF President Confident in Super Eagles' 2026 World Cup Qualification Despite Key Injuries

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, is optimistic about the Super Eagles' chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after missing out on the 2022 edition. Nigeria faces a decisive playoff against Gabon in November, with potential matchups against Cameroon or DR Congo.

However, injuries to key players like Tella could impact the team's performance. Gusau emphasizes the importance of motivation and support for the players.

The Super Eagles, three-time African champions, aim to secure a spot in the intercontinental playoffs scheduled for March 2026.
