Kenneth Omeruo says the Super Eagles have shifted attention to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers following their friendlies against Ghana and Mali.
The Super Eagles will continue their quest for a place at the mundial with two key fixtures against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa and Squirrels of Benin Republic in June.
Omeruo reckoned it is important for the Super Eagles to qualify for the World Cup after missing out the last time in Qatar 2022.

“June is only a few weeks away. We are focused on the matches against South Africa and Benin Republic,” Omeruo was quoted by thenff.com.
“Many players in the group have not played at the World Cup before and they see this as the big opportunity to be there. We cannot afford to let ourselves and the nation down.”
The Super Eagles are yet to record a win in the World Cup qualifying campaign having drawn their opening two games against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
