John Enoh the Honourable Minister of Sports Development, has summoned the Nigerian Football Federation, (NFF) to give technical reports concerning the Super Eagles’ disappointing performance during the June FIFA window.
This was disclosed on Monday in a statement by Diana-Mary Nsan, Special Assistant, Media, to the minister.
Recall that the Super Eagles have only managed to secure three points from possible 12 in the ongoing 2026 qualifying series.
The high point of the Eagles disappointing performance was the 2-1 loss to the Republic of Benin in Abidjan on Monday evening.
Nigeria face a difficult task for qualification to the 2026 World Cup to be jointly hosted by USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Reacting to Super Eagles performance, Sports minister Enoh said: “the recent results are unacceptable,” the minister said: “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 give cause why there mustn’t be consequences for the disappointment caused by both government and the generality of Nigerians.”
He added: “Our supporters are passionate and devoted. They deserve an explanation for why the Super Eagles have not been performing to the expected standards since after the last AFCON.”
