With Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualification hopes hanging by a thread, the National Sports Commission (NSC) has stated that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will determine the fate of Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle. NSC Chairman Shehu Dikko acknowledged the team’s mathematical chance but admitted their destiny is largely out of their hands.
Nigeria sits third in Group C with 11 points, six behind leaders South Africa.
The Super Eagles must win their final two matches and rely on other results to qualify.
Dikko defended Chelle’s record, noting he secured 8 points from 4 games after inheriting a team with only 3 points from 12.
The NSC provided full support, including chartered flights and prompt bonus payments.
Former captain Mikel Obi called for the entire NFF board to be disbanded if Nigeria fails to qualify.
Chelle’s future will be evaluated after the final qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin in October.
The coach faces intense scrutiny despite improved but insufficient results.
This moment captures the recurring cycle of hope, disappointment, and structural blame that defines Nigerian football’s relationship with World Cup dreams.
