Mikel Obi Warns NFF: Qualification Failure Unacceptable

Former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has warned the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) about the consequences of Nigeria failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Mikel advised the NFF board to resign if the national team doesn't make it to the tournament.

Nigeria's qualification hopes suffered a setback after a draw with South Africa, leaving them in third place in their group. Mikel expressed frustration at the possibility of missing two consecutive World Cups, describing it as devastating for Nigerians.

He criticized the NFF for not creating a conducive environment for players to succeed and called for government intervention in the football crisis. Despite the setback, he encouraged fans to continue supporting the team.
