1 / 2

Former Super Eagles defender Ben Iroha says Nigeria must urgently examine the decline in its football fortunes after a string of major national-team failures. He cited the Flying Eagles’ failure to reach the 2027 U-20 AFCON and World Cup, the Super Falcons’ missed 2027 Women’s World Cup ticket, and the Super Eagles’ absence from the 2026 World Cup. Iroha said Nigeria’s football authorities must identify what has gone wrong and take serious steps to stop the slide, despite the country’s abundance of talent.

The concern spans both the Flying Eagles and Super Falcons, which makes the call for examination feel broader than one bad result.
