Emphasizing the significance of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George, expressed the utmost importance of securing a spot in the prestigious tournament.
Finidi is committed to ensuring that the Super Eagles do not miss out on participating in the global football spectacle for a second consecutive time.

Upcoming qualifiers will see the Super Eagles facing off against South Africa and Benin, prompting Finidi to stress the importance of unity and support from all Nigerians for achieving success.
During a visit to the Nigeria Football Federation’s office in Abuja, Finidi expressed his determination and need for collective effort in securing victories in the upcoming World Cup qualification matches.
Finidi shares that he has been closely monitoring their opponents, utilizing the advantages of technology to analyze and strategize effectively.
The coach acknowledges the global nature of today’s world, enabling him to keep track of the players’ performances in their respective clubs from the comfort of his home.
Seeking prayers and backing from all corners, Finidi conveys his firm target of winning the upcoming matches and not being solely judged based on the previous international friendly games.
Recently appointed as the head coach of the Super Eagles by the NFF, Finidi is gearing up for the challenges ahead with determination and dedication.
