Former Nigerian international and ex-Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer, Alloy Agu, has expressed confidence in Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite a disappointing start to their campaign.
Nigeria is currently fifth in their qualifying group with just three points from four matches, following a 2-1 loss to Benin Republic and a 1-1 draw with South Africa. However, Agu believes the team still has what it takes to secure a spot at the tournament.
“It is too early to write off the Super Eagles,” Agu said. “I am still optimistic that the team will pick the World Cup ticket. It may be a tough challenge, but Nigeria knows how to rise to the occasion when the chips are down.”
With six games left to play in the qualifiers, Agu urged fans and stakeholders to continue supporting the team, adding that a turnaround is still possible with determination and focus.
His remarks come as pressure mounts on the players and coaching crew to improve results and restore hope of World Cup qualification.
