A former President of the Nigeria Football Federation has hit out at the current board over a mistake he believes cost the team the 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket.

Nigerian journalist Edafe Matthew has slammed the Super Eagles after a 1-1 draw with South Africa, calling them “the worst set of human beings” to play for Nigeria.

A former Super Eagles star says he no longer believes in Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup chances after their non-impressive qualification matches, sitting in third place.
