Nigeria’s Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, has expressed disappointment over his team’s 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Despite the setback, Chelle remains optimistic about the team’s chances, predicting that they could finish as the second-best side in Group C.
The Super Eagles currently occupy fourth place in the group with seven points, trailing behind Rwanda, Benin Republic, and South Africa. Chelle’s prediction may seem ambitious, but he believes the team has the potential to turn their campaign around.
Nigeria’s next match will be crucial in determining their fate in the qualifiers. With stiff competition from other teams in the group, the Super Eagles must win their remaining matches to stand a chance of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
