As stress mounts over the Tremendous Eagles’ probabilities of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, former crew captain and 1980 AFCON winner, Coach Henry Nwosu, has warned that lacking out on the match can be an enormous setback for Nigerian soccer.
Regardless of the uncertainty, Nwosu stays optimistic about Nigeria’s qualification prospects.
“I’m all the time optimistic. I don’t consider in wanting again, and that’s how I see the Tremendous Eagles. We’ve got what it takes to qualify,” he stated.
He emphasised that the crew should get every thing proper—from participant choice to health and preparation.
“We should do our homework, get the fitting gamers in the fitting positions, and guarantee they keep injury-free. If we put every thing in place, I consider we’ll qualify.”
The Penalties of Lacking Out
Nwosu, who served as an assistant coach when Nigeria performed on the 2002 World Cup, careworn the results of failing to qualify.
“If Nigeria doesn’t qualify, it will likely be an enormous blow. Our soccer rating will drop, and different African nations will see us as an unserious footballing nation.”
Hope Beneath New Coach Eric Chelle
The previous midfield maestro believes the newly appointed Tremendous Eagles coach, Eric Sekou Chelle, can lead the crew to victory within the remaining six qualifiers.
“Chelle will wish to show himself, and Nigerians count on him to win all remaining matches. I’m assured in our qualification, despite the fact that our opponents received’t make it simple. We simply must capitalize on any slip-ups they make.”
With essential video games forward, the Tremendous Eagles should step up their performances to safe a spot on the 2026 FIFA World Cup within the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
