Former Super Eagles Blasts Super Eagles After Disappointing Draw Against Zimbabwe!

Former Super Eagles midfielder Friday Ekpo's criticized Nigeria’s performance after their 1 - 1 draw with Zimbabwe warning that their 2026 World cup qualification hopes are now at serious risk.

Nigeria’s Struggles Continue

The Super Eagles failed to capitalize on home advantage at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, surrendering a late goal that cost them 2 crucial points. This poor result leaves them 6 points behind group leaders South Africa.

Ekpo didn’t hold back in his assessment:

“African football's progressed significantly. Nigeria still sees some teams as small but we're struggling to win against them”

“We're no longer giants we've become ants. If we don’t beat Bafana Bafana in South Africa, our world cup dream is over”

Super Eagles Must Bounce Back!

Nigeria will have chance to recover in Sep when they resume their world cup qualifiers:

• September 3 – Nigeria vs Rwanda
• September 6 – Nigeria vs South Africa

Can the super eagles turn things around, or is another world cup heartbreak on the horizon?
