Victor Osimhen has vowed the Super Eagles will do everything possible to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The striker recalled the disappointment of missing out in 2022 and insists Nigeria must not let history repeat itself. With crucial qualifiers ahead, the team faces mounting pressure to deliver.

Victor Osimhen has reaffirmed the Super Eagles’ commitment to securing a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, emphasizing the team’s desperation to avoid another heartbreaking failure. The Napoli striker recalled Nigeria’s painful absence from the 2022 edition, where fierce rivals Ghana snatched the qualification ticket.

Osimhen described missing out on the global tournament as one of the most disappointing moments of his career and vowed that the current squad would do everything possible to ensure history does not repeat itself. “Every footballer dreams of playing at the World Cup, and we cannot afford to let our country down again,” Osimhen said.

Nigeria's qualification campaign has been challenging, with the Super Eagles yet to register a win in their group after four games. Osimhen’s recent injury absence has further compounded their struggles, but the forward remains optimistic. “We know the task ahead, and we are ready to fight for our place,” he added.

With crucial fixtures approaching, the pressure is mounting on Nigeria to turn their fortunes around and book their place at the prestigious tournament. Fans remain hopeful that Osimhen’s return will inspire a resurgence and secure their ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
