Breaking News: Super Eagles Suffer Major Blow As Victor Osimhen Ruled Out Of South Africa Clash

Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification hopes have been dealt a huge setback after team doctor confirmed that star striker Victor Osimhen will not travel with the squad to South Africa for Tuesday’s crucial clash against Bafana Bafana. Osimhen, who was substituted during Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Rwanda in Uyo, was diagnosed with a bruise on his shin. According to medical updates, the Napoli forward woke up on Sunday morning with discomfort and has since been ruled out of the trip as a precaution. The absence of the talismanic striker—Nigeria’s leading goal scorer in recent campaigns—leaves Coach Finidi George with a major selection headache as the Super Eagles prepare for a must-win encounter in Bloemfontein. Nigeria currently sit third in Group D with 10 points, trailing leaders South Africa (16 points) and Benin Republic (11 points). With only three matches left to play, the Eagles must secure maximum points in their next outings to keep their qualification hopes a...

Falcons: Madugu hails Super Falcons mental resilience after stunning WAFCON comeback.

Image
Nigeria head coach Justine Madugu has credited his team’s “mental resilience” after the Super Falcons pulled off a dramatic 3–2 comeback victory against hosts Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Rabat. Before a raucous crowd at the Olympic Stadium, the Super Falcons looked on the verge of collapse after conceding twice within the first hour of play. Morocco took a 13th-minute lead when Nigeria’s Halimatu Ayinde failed to clear a cross, allowing captain Ghizlane Chebbak to pounce with a fierce finish. The Atlas Lionesses doubled their advantage early in the second half when Ibtissam Jraïdi surged down the flank and delivered a low cross that was coolly converted by Sanaâ Mssoudy. “We knew we could do it,” Madugu said after the match. “When we were two goals down, we kept encouraging the players not to lose their self-belief.” Madugu revealed that the mood in the dressing room at halftime was crucial in shaping the team’s res...
