Ex-Super Eagles Star Slams NFF and Government over Back-to-Back World Cup Failures
Former Green Eagles winger Adegoke Adelabu accuses the federal government of neglecting Nigerian football and allowing NFF officials to escape accountability. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, Nigeria has now failed to qualify for two consecutive tournaments. Fans remain frustrated after the missed chance in Qatar 2022 and now the USA-Canada-Mexico edition. Adelabu brands this run “a big embarrassment” and points to a lack of checks and balances and professional competence within the football administration. He warns that timely government intervention after the 2022 exit could have averted this latest disappointment. Despite missing the World Cup, the Super Eagles did lift the Unity Cup by beating Jamaica in the final, a small consolation amid wider frustrations.
