Treat your local league well - Ex-Super Eagles goalkeeper on why CHAN team failed
Etafia blames CHAN Eagles’ poor showing on declining NPFL standard
The three-time AFCON champions have endured a turbulent run under three different coaches, Jose Peseiro, Finidi George, and current boss Eric Chelle.
Under Peseiro, Nigeria managed only two draws. Finidi George’s brief tenure saw a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Gernot Rohr’s Benin Republic and a home draw against South Africa.
Chelle initially revived hope with a 3-0 victory over Rwanda in March, but the momentum stalled after a frustrating draw with Zimbabwe.

Amaju Pinnick loses FIFA connection: Former NFF boss unseated for council re-election
Former NFF president Amaju Pinnick loses FIFA connection as he is unseated for council re-election.
“The truth is, never say never until the final whistle,” the 54-year-old told Brila.
“I know Nigeria’s mentality. In 2018, nobody gave us a chance. Cameroon were defending champions, Algeria were unbeaten in nearly 20 games, and Zambia were strong, but we qualified. That’s why I still keep the faith with this team," he added.

‘It is a very myopic opinion’ - Ex-NFF president slams Carragher for belittling AFCON tournament
Amaju Pinnick, the former president of the Nigerian Football Federation, has responded to Jamie Carragher following the pundit’s degrading comments about the importance of the AFCON tournament.
Nigeria’s margin for error is slim, with a single slip potentially condemning them to miss a second consecutive World Cup after failing to qualify for Qatar 2022.
The Super Eagles resume their campaign next month, hosting Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on September 6, before travelling to face South Africa three days later.
