The Nigerian national team will not participate in the 2026 World Cup to be held in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Sport24.az reports that the "Super Eagles" lost to Congo in the African zone play-off match 1:1 (3:4 on penalties).
Thus, Nigeria will miss the World Cup for the second time in a row. The "African Brazilians" also failed to qualify for the mundial held in Qatar in 2022.
It should be noted that, according to Transfermarkt, the value of the Nigerian national team is approximately 300 million euros. World-class stars such as Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface, Ademola Lookman, Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze, Wilfred Ndidi, Rafael Onyedika and Calvin Bassey will have to watch the 2026 World Cup from the sidelines.
