The Minister of Sports Development, John Enoh, has expressed worries over the poor performance of the Nigerian Super Eagles in the world cup qualifying matches.
To this end, the Minister has demanded a detailed technical report from the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, towards finding a lasting solution to the Super Eagles’ disappointing performance.
Recall that the Super Eagles managed to secure only one point following a 1-1 with South Africa in Uyo on Thursday. The team, however, lost to Benin Republic 1-2 in a match played in Abidjan.
With this run of form, the Super Eagles have a total of just three points from a possible twelve. And are second from the bottom of the table in their group.
With just few games remaining to play, many Nigerians have feared that the Super Eagles might not qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The tournament will be jointly hosted by USA, Canada, and Mexico.
The Sports Minister, therefore, have expressed his dissatisfaction with the outcomes. This is giving the substantial support the NFF has received from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. And in addition to the kind of open and positive working relationship between the Ministry and the NFF.
According to the Minister, “The recent results are unacceptable. Despite the immense support from President Tinubu and the high expectations of Nigerian football fans, the Super Eagles have underperformed.
“The NFF must provide a comprehensive technical report explaining the reasons behind this poor showing. And they must give cause why there mustn’t be consequences for the disappointment caused both Government and the generality of Nigerians.
Enoh, therefore, emphasized that Nigerian football fans demand and deserve answers and accountability from the NFF.
“Our supporters are passionate and devoted. They deserve an explanation for why our national team has not been performing to the expected standards since after the last AFCON,” he stated.
