Super Eagles players have unanimously vowed to secure the 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket despite their poor qualifying campaign so far.
The Eagles suffered a huge setback in the qualifiers after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic on Monday in Abidjan.
The defeat comes after two three draws which leaves the Eagles in fifth place on three points after four games.
Benin Republic are currently top of the group with seven points courtesy of their win against the Eagles.
Reflecting on the poor start, the players according to a post on the team’s handle on X revealed that they have discussed among themselves and have resolved to do everything possible to secure the ticket.
“We are back in the country and we are not happy about the way the two games panned out,” the post on Super Eagles X handle reads.
“We have had talks among ourselves and have resolved to fight hard till the end to ensure we do the impossible which is qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. We don’t take your support for granted, we thank you immensely.”
The World Cup qualifiers will resume in March 2025 with the Eagles taking on Rwanda in Kigali and Zimbabwe in Uyo.
