Former Nigeria International John Obi Mikel has urged football followers not to write off Super Eagles yet in the race for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, saying the team can still turn the table around.

Former Chelsea midfielder during a chat with CAF media said if Nigeria can win it again, it will be massive.

” Nigeria remained a favorite anytime we went to the tournament, everyone knows that but maybe we are not a massive favorite this time.
“If we can do it again, it will be a massive achievement for us, which is what the country needs for now.
“We need to get our football back to where it should and by winning this tournament, our football will go back to where it should be”, he said.
