The Sports Minister, Senator John Owan Enoh, has summoned the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to provide a comprehensive report on the Super Eagles’ disappointing performance in recent matches during the June FIFA window.
In their latest fixtures, the Super Eagles managed to secure only one point out of a possible six, drawing 1-1 with South Africa and suffering a 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic. These results leave Nigeria with just three points from four games in their bid to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“The recent results are unacceptable,” Senator Enoh stated. “Despite the immense support and the high expectations of Nigerian football fans, the Super Eagles have underperformed. The NFF must provide a comprehensive technical report explaining the reasons behind this poor showing and give cause why there mustn’t be consequences for the disappointment caused both Government and the generality of Nigerians.”
“Our supporters are passionate and devoted. They deserve an explanation for why our national team has not been performing to the expected standards since after the last AFCON”
