Finidi must qualify Super Eagles for 2026 W/Cup, work with local players

The Nigeria Football Federation has mandated Finidi George to make sure the Super Eagles earn a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Super Eagles are currently third in their group after two draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe. The two-time African champions will host the Bafana Bafana of South Africa on Friday, June 7, before facing the Squirrels of Benin a few days later.

'In the month of June, Nigeria will play the games of their lives against South Africa and Benin,” Ikpeba, a member of the NFF technical committee told SuperSport. “We are on the back foot after we drew our first two World Cup qualifiers and so we have to win the next games. “We have the players and if Finidi can get the best out of them, we will qualify for the World Cup.
