    Super Eagles Can Still Qualify For 2026 World Cup – Chelle

    Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle remains optimistic about Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite the team’s shaky start in the qualifiers.

    The 47-year-old Malian tactician, who took over after Nigeria’s winless run in their first four games, led the team to a 2-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali.

    However, a recent draw against Zimbabwe has further complicated their path, with Nigeria trailing group leaders South Africa by six points.

    Chelle stressed the importance of winning the upcoming matches, especially the crunch tie against South Africa.

    “It’s an obligation to win in South Africa, but the most important match for us right now is Rwanda in Uyo,” Chelle said.

    “South Africa are a good side but for that game, we cannot afford to let them play. First, we have to beat Rwanda at home, then we will focus on South Africa.”

    The Super Eagles are set to face Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on September 3, before travelling to take on South Africa on September 7th.

    With only four games left, Nigeria must win all remaining matches and hope rivals drop points to keep their qualification hopes alive.

    South Africa, looking to return to the World Cup for the first time since hosting it in 2010, remain top favorites to advance.

    The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is working on a series of friendly matches to prepare the team for the September fixtures. Among them is a proposed friendly against FIFA-banned Russia in June, as well as a four-nation tournament tagged “The Unity Cup,” featuring Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica.

    While these fixtures have yet to be confirmed by the NFF, official announcements are expected in the coming days.
