Super Eagles’ new look, Super Falcons’ Olympic push and the DR Congo controversy
What did we really learn from the Super Eagles’ mixed result in the longest-ever international break and are we beginning to see the foundations of a new-look Nigeria side?
We discuss the players who took their opportunities, Eric Chelle's scorecard so far, the positives from the Russia game and what still needs to improve as the Super Eagles continue to evolve.
We also turn our attention to the Super Falcons and their Olympic qualification campaign. Is the current squad strong enough? Are enough young players being given opportunities? And how much pressure should be on the coaching staff to deliver?
Finally, we examine the latest revelations surrounding reports that FIFA investigators were aware of concerns about an ineligible player before the 2026 World Cup and claims that FIFA allowed DR Congo to proceed despite Nigeria protesting.
