Mikel: Sack all NFF members if…
A former captain of the Super Eagles, John Mikel Obi, has called for the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to be disbanded, if the national team doesn’t qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Former Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, has urged the federal government to dissolve the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, if Super Eagles fail to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Nigeria currently have slim chances of reaching the next World Cup after drawing South Africa in a Group C qualification race for the competition.
The result leaves the country’s senior team third on the log, six points behind Bafana Bafana of South Africa with just two games to go.
However, Mikel stated that the country’s struggles in the World Cup qualifier are due to the football body’s inability to put its house in order.
“If Nigeria doesn’t qualify for the World Cup, the entire NFF board has to go… it’s unacceptable.
“We didn’t qualify for Qatar — the last World Cup — and now it looks like again we are not going to make it. Honestly, I have nothing to say about it,” the former Chelsea star said on the Obi One Podcast.
