Disband NFF If Nigeria Doesn’t Make 2026 World Cup — Mikel Obi to FG

Posted by Thandiubani on Thu 11th Sep, 2025 - tori.ng

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.

 
Former Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi has sent a message to the federal government.
 
Obi asked FG to dissolve the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, if Super Eagles fail to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
 
The Super Eagles 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.
