In a dramatic turn of events, the Super Eagles of Nigeria thrashed Benin Republic 🇧🇯 4–0 in their final group match — but the victory wasn’t enough to secure automatic qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Despite finishing with 17 points, Nigeria fell short of topping their qualifying group, as results elsewhere favored their rivals.
However, there’s still hope — the Super Eagles remain in contention to qualify as one of the best runners-up, a route that would see them advance to the CAF play-offs, offering a second chance to reach the World Cup.
The Nigerian team, led by coach Finidi George, expressed optimism that the squad’s strong finish will propel them through the next qualification stage. Fans across the nation have hailed the team’s fighting spirit, though many remain anxious about what comes next.
