The Honourable Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, has demanded a detailed technical report from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) following the Super Eagles' disappointing performance during the June FIFA window.


The Super Eagles managed to secure only one point from a possible six, following a 1-1 draw with South Africa in Uyo and a 2-1 loss to Benin Republic in Abidjan in its third and fourth games respectively in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series.


These results leave the Super Eagles with a total of just three points from a possible twelve in the four games played so far in their quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Senator Enoh expressed his dissatisfaction with the outcomes, especially considering the substantial support the NFF has received from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, in addition to the open and positive working relationship between the Ministry and the NFF.


"The recent results are unacceptable," Senator Enoh stated.


"Despite the immense support from President Tinubu and the high expectations of Nigerian football fans, the Super Eagles have underperformed.


"The NFF must provide a comprehensive technical report explaining the reasons behind this poor showing and give cause why there mustn't be consequences for the disappointment caused both by the Government and the generality of Nigerians."


Senator Enoh emphasized that Nigerian football fans demand and deserve answers and accountability from the NFF.


"Our supporters are passionate and devoted. They deserve an explanation for why our national team has not been performing to the expected standards since after the last AFCON," he added.
