Nigeria's coach Finidi George remains confident that his team will regain their top form in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers despite extending their winless streak to three matches. Following another 1-1 draw at home against South Africa, Nigeria currently sits fifth in Group C with only three points from as many matches.
Despite dropping points against South Africa, Finidi believes in his team's capabilities to turn their qualifying campaign around. He emphasized the need for a positive result to shift the narrative and expressed determination to bounce back in their upcoming matches.
The former Nigerian international winger took over the coaching role in April, aiming to revitalize Nigeria's performance after a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations final defeat and a slow start to World Cup qualifying. Finidi, who previously served as an assistant, is focused on preparing the team for success.
Looking ahead, Nigeria faces Benin in Abidjan on Monday in a crucial match to revive their World Cup qualifying journey. With the campaign on hold until March 2025 after the upcoming fixture, Finidi and his team are eager to secure a positive outcome and set the stage for a stronger performance in the qualifiers.
