Super Eagles defender Gabriel Osho remains optimistic about Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite their poor start to the qualifiers.
The three-time African champions are winless in the qualifiers so far, sitting in a precarious fifth position in Group C with just three points from four games.
They trail table-toppers Rwanda by four points, leaving their chances of qualification hanging by a thread with six games left to play.
However, Osho, who made his Super Eagles debut last month, believes Nigeria has the quality to turn the tide.
“We have to focus on the World Cup qualifiers and the AFCON. After the last competition, our goal is to progress and triumph. I think we have enough talent,” Osho told Flashcore.
The quality of our team is probably the best in Africa. It is time to assert it on the big stage.
We have to play to our ability. I am confident we can do it. The qualification is longer in this format, so we have time. We have games that will allow us to rectify the situation.
“Everyone is eager to participate in the World Cup, and I am sure we will do everything possible. God willing, we will qualify.”
The Super Eagles will resume their World Cup qualifying campaign in March 2025 with a crucial clash against Rwanda. A victory in that fixture is essential to reignite their hopes and set the tone for the remaining matches.
