Thank God for this news. His contract renewal is top priority.

His handling of the U23s too will help in transitioning players easily to the SE.

Sugarboyy:
Aside Messi, which other footballer in that 2005 U20 WC is still playing? Messi is just exceptional and nothing bad with Mikel still not playing, 21 years after

Thanks

Sugarboyy:
MESSIIIII ⚽⚽

And he and Mikel started in the U20s in 2005.

It seems oga at the top... Tinubu is interested in the position. He's a lover of football and according to some sources preparing one of his boys Remo to take charge of the federation come late this year.

Well well... Need a technocratic at the helms of affairs

Hmmmm .....

Hehehehe. Nemesis and kamah are both real. Just look at😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
You guys took our dear Super Eagles to play a world cup qualifier in a potato farm. Now see it........Till today Ola Aina has refused playing for us again.

Goke7:
Omo DRC go hear am today o 1-0

DR Congo just wasting our spot

PDPGuy:
Up next is Jordan v Austria

Austria 2-1 Jordan

If I hear say Nigeria miss world cup again ehhhh.

Very true. The South Americam jinx broken. Also Africa's first win at this 2026 Edition.

SA ❌️
Maroc 🤝🏿
CIV ✅️
Tunisia Up next ⏳️
Cape Verde ⏳️
Egypt ⏳️
Senegal ⏳️
Algeria⏳️
DRC⏳️
Ghana⏳️

The hatred for South Africa is a continental something.

Odunayaw:
Running to work now and thought to check the results.

Never in doubt of both outcomes. Tunisia is one donkey to be ridden at the WC.

Tunisia just wasted African slot

Schemerkhiz:
I believe all our injured players will be 💯 available for the WAFCON… With over a Month to go

Chinwendu Ihezuo already running on the grass…!

• Chinwendu Ihezuo
• Michelle Alozie
• Ashleigh Plumptre
• Esther Okoronkwo

Hallelujah somebody 🙌🙌🙌

Odunayaw:
Fellow Mexicans
Rejoice

Hallelujah 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍

TheSuperNerd:
AM is hard to see as almost no African midfielder stays an AM in Europe for long but the Slavia wonderlad, Mubarak Suleiman is a technical workhorse. Good at AM (played there in the UYL & his first 2 slavia senior games) and also a box to box CM. I would give him a try. Lad has already been mentioned to Chelle but the coach has not specifically asked for options yet in that role. He was more focused on RB as that was the position we had zero personnel in headed to both Poland and Portugal friendlies.

Also, once Christantus Uche gets it going again in Spain, he will be another strong option at AM, CM. We saw him at Getafe at AM and CM... aside the CF/SS roles Bordalas utilised him in.

Another is Ebenezer Akinsanmiro... a mezzala CM profile... and ofcos David Moses of Slavia Praha.

We have seen [b]Nnadi, S.Tijani and Alhassan (again) and they show huge promise as MF pool options but it is clear we need more quality depth in the middle especially with Onyedika still trying hard to convince.[/b]


As for more CM-beasts... CIES-recognised U21 youngsters like... Ridwan Popoola (see video below)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxipLJFVgII?si=wEwuUQvHiEcqj242

....and John Otomewo (see video below)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6NBtJ0uzVk?si=75s6SWxejDgXkQ_Q

....can be given chances as they look like profiles that instantly bring beastly qualities alongside heightened on-ball quality to the middle.

There are others like Mukhtar Adamu and co but I would want those ones to get more senior apps under their belt.
Dual-nats options are not left out but will need switches for most of them.





At LB.... Zaidu would be history once an in-form Felix Agu[/b]returns and once we give chances to [b]Isaac James (Alverca) or Emmanuel Godwin (Pardubice). Bruno cant be the only LB we rely on.

Can we still convince Ethan Nwaneri? If not, let's focus on Zadok Yohanna and Femi Azeez. There is also Sani Suleiman.

Chelle is a good coach.

DRC go hear am for world cup

Okoye's reflexes are very late. Kai....

Portugal 1-0 Nigeria

Try this for the match

BascoVanVeli:
Maybe that's because Esther came out and called it fake.

Edit: Sorry I read it as 'una no go believe anything'

Thank God it's fake news

[quote author=SymphonyRad post=139671111]See camp vibes like a true family, imagine this team with Chelle at the world cup, we would have made headlines everyday lol

One thing truly unique about Éric Sékou Chelle and this group of players is the unity and brotherhood he has built within the team. Beyond the tactics, there’s a clear bond, togetherness, and fighting spirit among the boys.

I also love the transformation in Samuel Chukwueze ;… pic.twitter.com/yGKRZ5XR6l

has funny attributes. Thank God for Chelle. Once upon a time in SE, Mikel and Onazi were not seeing eye to eye. But everything has changed with Chelle.

Goke7:
That's why their people dey shout o saying they are being replaced

They would soon look like the French team

Schemerkhiz:
FT | Romaine Gandonou (right from guiding Benin to the 2026 #U20WWC) with both goals for Benin Senior in 3-2 defeat to Morocco U23 this afternoon..

I hope our U17 Coaches are setting up tactics to keep this girl in the locker room.. Our defenders need to be more Physical against her.

This girl has played for all Benin's women teams- u17, u20 and senior. Africa my Africa. How old is she again?

AndSunGorilla:
Like losing to Morocco? Someone coached a team to come from 2 goals down to beat the hosts!!!

If that's what makes Madugu the best coach NFF can afford, so be it.

GeneralDae:
The superfalcons are not just it right now in my opinion and the NFF is to be blamed. No real improvement since last year.

Super Falcons need a coach who would do what Eric Chelle is doing with the Super Eagles.

The way Chelle cracked our midfield woes need to be studied, where previous coaches has failed he made it look so easy

Madugu's final checks on a few positions before the final list for the Wafcon.

Glad to see Rofiat Imuran.

Let's Go Super Falcons!

No Chioma Okafor

TheSuperNerd:
Time for a faceoff vs Benin and their star girl, Romaine Gandanou...

Harmony Chidi have met Romaine and Toure on 5 goals as joint top scorers now in the U17 WWC CAF Qualifiers 2026.

Meanwhile Precious Oscar scored the last goal today to make it 6-0 (11-0 aggregate).

Is it not same Oscar who came off the bench vs Malawi U20s to cause them mayhem and even scored to seal our Falconets WC Ticket?

Yes ooo Nerdie. Same girl. She is class.
This team will face Korea DPR, Puerto Rico and Poland if we eventually qualify. Love to watch them and I think some of them should be drafted to the U20s.

Justin Madugu names his 23-player #SuperFalcons squad for June’s friendlies against Senegal 🇸🇳
