Former Nigerian international Nduka Ugbade has revealed that the Super Eagles can still qualify for the 2026 World Cup if the team wins their remaining matches in the group.
Recall that Nigeria have only three points from four World Cup qualification games and are at the risk of missing the next football tournament.
However, in a chat with Brila FM, Ugbade stated that Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup are slim but that anything can still happen.
“The chances for our qualification for the 2026 World Cup are very slim,” Ugbade told Brila. “But in every difficulty, Nigeria always finds a way to do something.

“The only chance we have is to win all our matches, both home and away, against Lesotho, Rwanda, and especially South Africa.
“We have to beat them in South Africa. With a reasonable mind, I know all things are possible, but the truth is, I don’t think South Africa will want to leave their position to Nigeria.
“I’m a Nigerian, and I want us to qualify for the World Cup. Everything we can do to qualify, I hope we do it to qualify, but the truth is, I don’t think South Africa will lose two or three matches.”
