Kenneth Omeruo says the Super Eagles will now shift attention to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers following their friendly tour in Morocco.
The Super Eagles engaged in two friendlies against Ghana and Mali as part of their preparations for the World Cup qualifiers.
The West Africans defeated their eternal rivals Ghana 2-1 and lost 2-0 to Mali in the two friendlies.
Omeruo assured that the players are determined to give their all for maximum points when the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers resume in June.

“We went into the match against Mali determined to win, just as we did against Ghana. In the end, they took their chances and we failed to take ours. That’s football. You just have to take the chances that come your way,” he was quoted by thenff.com.
“Many players in the group have not played at the World Cup before and they see this as the big opportunity to be there. We cannot afford to let ourselves and the nation down.”
The Super Eagles will face South Africa and Benin Republic in their next two games in the World Cup qualifiers.
They are yet to record a win in the qualifiers having drawn their opening two games against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.

This useless statement has just shown what kind of person this Omeroua is and if I was the manager in charge he will never play for the SE again!
This his statement screams of one thing and one thing only, Me! Me! Me! – This is a selfish and self centered man who only cares about himself – his ego, his benefit, his gain! This guy cares not one jot for Nigeria or Nigerians!
This is a guy who is definitely no longer SE material, he is too old, too slow and was only just about good enough in his absolute prime about 10-15 years ago, no longer making the starting 11 and just about getting called up as squad filler and only because it is Nigeria – In any other or maybe most other progressive footballing nations, this guy would have been kicked into international football retirement many many moons ago!
Now here he is, trying to take advantage of that gorimapa clown who is trying to become the SE’s manager, kkkkk- I laugh in swahili! A person like this Omeruo does not give a jot about the happiness of football loving Nigerians as long as he sees any opportunity to use that dense Finidi’s head to get back in the squad, he’s taking it, regardless of consequences or ramifications! That SE team that that clueless Finidi fielded yesterday will NEVER win a single game even if they’re playing for the next 100 years and will very quickly become the weeping boys of world football and completely soil our great name – Nigeria
This selfish dullard is wishing away the SE’s time and fast forwarding things to the world cup so that he can use Finidi’s head and become a starter again and by so doing, condemn the SE’s into a wilderness of epic mediocrity so deep that they may NEVER find their way back among the relevant and progressive footballing Nations of the world ever again!
Omerua! shame on you! You think we are a nation of fools who won’t see through your dumbass charade ba? – You are not serious and you have a second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth think coming up! Yes there are no doubt plenty of mugus among the numbers but we still have people that can smell your BS from 1000 Miles away!
Get out of it! mtcheew, yeye dey smell!
@Field My Nipple, you spoke well. Omeruo should keep quiet. Y’all can thank me after.
alakori krumble or impetus madus, whichever one your adopting today –
You are MUGU number 1 – apt case in point!
Go away and clean your stinking S***k soiled mouth with acid lol
Oh and by the way – please who has seen Omo9ja please?
Please invite him to come and break down Kolawole Dessers game yesterday for us please.
Because – and I am sure that most if not all will back me on this one that Omo9ja has been calling very very loudly for Dessers kwo?
Even when I quietly gave a heads up that Dessers is not part of it (ko’n sha ra e) or even a heavier hint I gave that it is not Dessers load (ko’n she eru re), I am not sure that our Omo9ja cared much for that opinion – so finally we got to see Dessers in full flight abi? But strangely we have not seen nor heard from our dear Omo9ja again since then ke?
Bros, show face na, come tell us how you see Dessers game yesterday chairman..abi how market na?
Omanija has suddenly disappear
Yeah that’s what you guys should be about, begin preparation for the WC qualifiers. But let’s tell ourselves the truth, we don’t have a team B yet. What that stretches is that the moment Osimhen, Ekong, and co aren’t in the team, we begin to lose to minnows. George must continue the building process because these guys need to understand themselves well before fans begin their miscarriage expectations. Nigeria fans are invaluably unsatisfactory, Super Eagles are expected to win all their matches as if their opponents aren’t on the pitch to play. -No they are meant to walk around the pitch Super Eagles fans- We, fans, have already accepted the saying – you win some and lose some and it came to my mind. Apparently very correct as well. George who’s at the verge of being announced as the substantiave Super Eagles coach, certainly to take us to the World cup, is tentatively at the wheel, having beaten Ghana BaadStads only lose to Mali due to no proper understanding among the team B players who had barely played together to warrant such audacious awareness and understanding. There must every need by the football federation to give George free hand to choose his team of assistants. Importantly, let’s hope none of our regulars (Team A) are injuries free during the time otherwise, its going to be tough.
Thanks Jephant I almost believed I’m the only one with such opinion.
WC qualifiers is going to be tough yiu said, Jeph, but Finidi still has 3months to get the lads ready for the game against the bois the boiz of South Africa. The coach has no option excuse not to qualify us for global meet.
My brother, abeg see if your keypad abi board is mistyping. Anyways, Raphnolly, make i tell you, Jephant is mouthing is right. Without Ainor, Osime, Ekwung, grank you no suppose expect to qualify. Team b is clueless, not the coach who had to prepare unknown quantity in few days. They are sure to gas our, exactly what played out during themselves ch against Mali.
Sorry, but I am not sure I understand the last two comments? Are you guys honestly trying to say that you still think that Finidi “the clown” will somehow remain the SE’s gaffer? On which planet? This one or Mars?- There is no way under heaven that Finidi must be allowed to continue in that role o! In fact he is not even fit to be in the coaching team or to come anywhere near the team –
In fact the NFF and Nigerian’s must go to the highest court of the land and take out an injunction that if Finidi is found 100 miles (161 kilometres) in proximity or vicinity of the team, he will be arrested! Nonsense
Which of the NFF? Abi na onigbese wey suppose appoint amunike the failure. He’s problem is not meeting the cut off mark.
