2026 W/Cup Qualifiers: Sports minister summons NFF over poor results

The Minister of Sports Development, John Owan Enoh, has demanded a detailed technical report from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on the Super Eagles’ disappointing results in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

This is contained in a statement by Diana-Mary Nsan, the Special Assistant to the minister on Media.

The Eagles managed to secure only one point from a possible six, following a 1-1 draw with South Africa in Uyo and losing 2-1 to Benin Republic in Abidjan in its third and fourth game in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series.
