Nigeria are competing in the group C in the qualifying schedule but occupied fifth position out of six countries. Super Eagles got two draws and lost to Benin Republic on Monday at Ivory Coast. It was a shocking result to Nigerians and followers of African football.
Looking at how the Super Eagles can still make it to the world cup even if they failed to get the top spot in the group. Newsinfonigeria understands that all the group leaders qualify automatically to the finals of the world cup. But there is still another window opened for the best four teams that didn't finished top of the group to make it through playoffs.
So, if the Super Eagles of Nigeria can be among the top four from the qualification performance, they could make it through the playoffs.
This is how it works, the four teams are automatically in the semi final of the qualifiers. The two team who make it to the final will face each other, and the winner will proceed to face other teams in the intercontinental games.
Nigeria fans are currently unhappy with the performance of the Super Eagles as some people are already calling for the sack of coach Finidi George. We believe that Nigeria could do better than what they are doing now and we hope they can still make it to the 2026 FIFA world cup.
