You mean after his club's game on Saturday? But the AFCON is starting same day.

You no even thank God say him club release am?

Now NFF can see the nonsense plan they and Peseiro made with inviting only 25 players. 2 injured. Moffi and Kelechi under probability. May God help us to scale through the group stage. Now think of it, if Iwobi or Osimhin gets injured, how it will look like.

Hello guys and a happy new year to us all. May this new year be a blessed one for us all and for Nigeria starting from this January's AFCON and U20 Falconets world cup qualifiers with Burundi (home and away).

Please give us updates in the Eagles and Falconets camps

Why is Jpes stubborn and heady abeg? Still insisting on 5MF. Maybe he hopes to convert Boniface, Kels, Musa to midfield

JayromWrites:
I think there are side talks about his story.

It might or not had a hand in his retirement

VicMo also complained about some players of SE then of being fetish

OGN reports that JPes met with VicMo to consider joining AFCON squad and even promised him a spot as he didn't want Ekong or Musa but VicMo told him to forget it and said that chapter has been closed in his footballing career.

Abeg wetin we do VicMo

The last WAFCON edition Esther Okoronkwo also scored 1 goal and gave 1 assists too…

She’s good at getting to goals, just that ACL injury stopped her from playing in the WAFCON.. even going to the World Cup she was just recovering from ACL so I wouldn’t blame Randy too much for not giving her much game time though she proved herself during the World Cup Preparation…

I remember now. Esther Okoronkwo didn't make last WAFCON due to injury. Hope she makes this without injury because she is a potent weapon.

My worry is that we are not seeing more of Rinsola. This Madugu coach is not giving her quality playing time. We need to really know what she can offer before WAFCON

WESTERN AFRICA
Mali 🇲🇱
Nigeria 🇳🇬
Ghana 🇬🇭
Senegal 🇸🇳

NORTHERN AFRICA
Morocco 🇲🇦 (Host)
Algeria 🇩🇿
Tunisia 🇹🇳

SOUTHERN AFRICA
South Africa 🇿🇦
Botswana 🇧🇼
Zambia 🇿🇲

CENTRAL AFRICA
DR Congo 🇨🇩

EASTERN AFRICA
Tanzania 🇹🇿

Every African region fully represented. No more minnows in African women football. West African dominance in African football is gradually loosing grip. WAFU has to really sit up. COSAFA are doing well with organizing tornaments in their region at the moment.

I believe seeded teams for this WAFCON would be Morocco, South Africa and Nigeria. May we not be grouped with Zambia or Ghana ooo

We should score more goals. Rinsola should also come in.

lovewins:
Deborah Abiodun is the future. That's all I came to say. Really proud of her.

She is a revelation. A darling

The Cape verde ladies has been in their Dakar, Senegal camp preparing for this game. May God help SF today.

U20 FIFA WWC last fixtures

Morocco v Ethiopia
Senegal v Ghana
Egypt v Cameroon
Burundi v Nigeria

12–14 Jan 24 (1st leg)
19–21 Feb 24 (2nd leg)

Whoever wins this qualifies for the world cup in 2024.

Something really is wrong with our national teams at the moment. Just imagine SE dropping points today at Rwanda against Zimbabwe and our U20 Falconets were about to give up in their World cup quest? That would have been a disastrous. Chai.....

justvictor57:
;DMatch never finish, calculator don dey your hand already

Let's just try to qualify for playoffs comprising of the 4 highest placed runners up from each group. All thanks to Jpes

Seems NFF have given Jpes a stern warning to beat Zimbabwe or get sacked. Osasu Obayuwana claims Jpes is planning on returning back to Zamalek, Egypt if he is eventually sacked

Why should South Africa play tomorrow?' - Peseiro slams Fifa over 2026 World Cup qualifiers scheduling

Published: November 17, 2023

Manager Jose Peseiro has criticized football's governing body, Fifa over the 2026 World Cup qualifiers scheduling, which would see the Super Eagles complete their November internationals a day after South Africa's opening game in Group C against Benin.

On paper, Bafana Bafana are Nigeria's biggest rivals of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and Peseiro is of the opinion that the South Africans have been handed an advantage by Fifa's imbalanced fixtures list.

The Super Eagles had just one proper training session before taking to the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium turf to face Lesotho, bearing in mind that Tuesday's session was more or less a recovery workout as seventeen of the players named in the matchday squad arrived in Uyo on that day.

Peseiro acknowledged that these problems with logistics negatively impacted the performance of the Super Eagles players during their embarrassing 1-1 draw against Lesotho on Thursday.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, the Portuguese football tactician said: "We didn't prepare well, even the players didn't rest well because some players came on Monday, others on Tuesday.

"We could not train with intensity in that moment.Yesterday we trained but not with intensity because we must play today. For that I ask why the match was scheduled for Thursday.

"Next three days my team is going to play Zimbabwe. Why should South Africa play tomorrow, we played today. Why? I don't know.

"Our team is the best in the group, we drew but I think we will win the next match but our players must make sacrifices.

"They fought today. The ball didn't go in, bad luck for us. We are going to give a response against Zimbabwe even if we don't rest well."

West Brom central defender Semi Ajayi prevented Nigeria from suffering a devastating home defeat when he rose highest to head in the equalizer midway through the second half.

chuks404:
Southafrica already up by 1-0 against Benin.

Other countries are finding it easy to score first but we don't. Please how do other countries do it

Mecka:
if you dont have any reasonable thing to say. Better shut up your mouth. Which one is our boys arrived late. Were you with them. Nigerians always looking for one stupid excuse or the other for their failure. Idiot

I know you are pained bro. Take it easy....

Meanwhile I am not an idiot.

I feel playing the game on a Thursday instead of Saturday or Sunday also affected our boys, Our boys arrived very late to camp on Tuesday for a Thursday match and there was no time to fully rest from the long trip and no time to blend in the absence of Osimhen, Ndidi and Chuks. The NFF should be blamed for this. Now South Africa and Benin Rep have a strong advantage unless they can draw so that we all can be on 1 point.

U20 FIFA WWC QUALIFIERS
The Super Falconets meet Tanzania in MKO Ahiola stadium for return leg after 1-1 draw in Tanzania.
Chris Danjuma should beat this Tanzanian team so we can face Burundi in the next and final round.
Good luck to the girls

My urgent advise

Sack Peseiro now
Sack Uzoho now
Sack Ibrahim Gusau now
Sack NFF Secretary now

We should finish off this Tanzanian team in Abuja

Deltamani:
No report of 🇹🇿 18yrs Star Player Clara Lavunga joining them yet..

Seems this Tanzanian U20 is a tough side ooo. Chris Danjuma and his girls must not take things for granted ooo. Play to win outrightly

Daninya33:

Have you ever met a lady who doesn't know how to cook?, Everything needed to make a good meal is available in the kitchen yet the food comes out tasteless.
JP is a coach who doesn't know how to cook our players. He just does not know what to do. Aside been a stubborn coach he is also clueless.

With JP,I don't see Nigeria qualifying for the world cup.

With JP, I see Nigeria exiting the Afcon during the Quarter Finals.

JP won't even see out the World Cup Qualifiers, bookmark this.

The present NFF administration is the worst in the history of Nigerian football. They have sown failure and they will surely reap failure.

Its so frustrating that we have a generation of top quality players but don't know how to administer and use them to maximum potentiality. Sadiq Umar, Joe Aribo, Francis Uzoho, Maduka Okoye all have no business on that list. If we qualify for this World Cup ehhhhh.... e mean say God love Nigeria

quickberry:

What's wrong with Jpes and NFF?
Jordan Tourinagha missing from this list.
Na waya ooo
