Super Eagles can still qualify for 2026 World Cup – Minister, Enoh

The Super Eagles still have a decent chance of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to sports minister, John Enoh.

The former African champions are yet to record a win in Group C and sit in fifth position with a paltry three points from four games.

The Super Eagles will need to win their remaining six games in the group to put themselves in a position to qualify for the mundial.

Enoh believes it is still possible for the team to make it to the mundial.

“The majority opinion is that it’s not impossible yet (to qualify for the World Cup),” the sports Minister said in an interview on Eagle7 FM on Saturday.

“In sports, nothing is impossible.

“We have only played four out of 10 qualifying matches, we still have six matches remaining.

“I believe that with the right mix of a coach, who is convinced it is possible, the right mentality of the players, they have to have the fire and the hunger, it is still possible.”

The Super Eagles will face Rwanda when the 2026 World Cup qualifiers resume in March 2025.

They will also face the Warriors of Zimbabwe in the same month.
