Nigeria secures spot in 2026 FIFAe Nations League

Nigeria has been officially named among the countries set to compete in the 2026 FIFAe Nations League, according to a confirmation from FIFA.

The season will feature competition across three separate divisions: eFootball (console), eFootball (mobile), and Rocket League.

FIFA announced that 115 nations qualified for the console competition, 81 for mobile, and 84 for Rocket League. Nigeria successfully secured a place in all three formats, underlining the country’s growing presence in global esports.

The qualification also comes after a disappointment. Nigeria failed to reach the 2025 FIFAe World Cup in Saudi Arabia, having been knocked out in the quarter-finals by South Africa.

This latest breakthrough gives the team a fresh platform to reassert itself on the global stage and potentially challenge for honours across multiple gaming titles.
