The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau (MON), has guaranteed Nigerians that the Super Eagles will secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled to be held in Mexico, the USA, and Canada.

Gusau also reaffirmed his commitment to the development of grassroots football across the nation, emphasizing its importance for the growth of the sport in Nigeria.

Speaking at the final match of the Sokoto State Football Association Chairman Cup at the Giginya Memorial Stadium, Sokoto, Gusau praised the Sokoto State FA for successfully organizing the tournament. The final saw Lokoja FC defeat A.A Star FC in a dramatic penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw.

The NFF President emphasized that missing back-to-back World Cups would be detrimental to Nigeria’s football aspirations and called for collective effort to ensure qualification. “The qualification of the Super Eagles for the 2026 World Cup is a task for all football stakeholders, led by the NFF,” Gusau said. “I urge everyone to support this mission.”

While commending the impressive talent and enthusiasm on display in Sokoto State, Gusau expressed concern about the state of the Giginya Memorial Stadium. He pledged to collaborate with relevant authorities to upgrade the facility to international standards, making it capable of hosting high-profile matches, including those of the Super Eagles.

“I am impressed with the level of talent and enthusiasm displayed by the teams and fans during this tournament,” Gusau noted. “However, I am also concerned about the state of the stadium. I promise to work with the relevant authorities to ensure it is renovated to meet international standards.”
