The Sports Minister, John Enoh, has expressed his displeasure with the Super Eagles’ performance in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series. Following a disappointing 2-1 defeat against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in Abidjan on Monday night, the Super Eagles have now recorded three draws and one defeat in four games.
With only three points from a possible twelve, the Super Eagles’ chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup are dwindling. Minister Enoh highlighted the substantial support the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has received from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the positive working relationship between the Ministry and the NFF.
Enoh stated that the recent results are unacceptable. He demanded a comprehensive technical report from the NFF explaining the poor performance and accountability for the disappointment caused to both the government and Nigerian football fans.
Nigerians have also taken to social media to express their displeasure over the outcome of the game .
The Super Eagles’ next steps remain uncertain as they face increasing pressure to turn their performance around in the remaining qualifiers.
