Odegbami: Super Eagles Would Be World Cup Contenders If They Had Qualified

1 / 3

Former international Segun Odegbami says Nigeria under Eric Chelle would have challenged for the World Cup title if they had secured qualification. Despite expanded slots for the 48-team tournament, the Super Eagles missed out after a disappointing campaign that saw them finish behind South Africa and lose a potential playoff spot to DR Congo. Odegbami points to Nigeria’s wealth of talent in Europe and believes the foundation laid by Chelle, combined with stars like Osimhen, Lookman and Bassey, sets the Super Eagles on course to become a global force in future tournaments.
