The Super Eagles have vowed to bounce back following their 2-1 loss to Benin Republic in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on Monday.
Nigeria is yet to win a game in the series, having drawn its first three matches. Finidi George’s side took the lead in Abidjan but conceded twice before halftime.
Following the loss, the players and their coach flew back to the nation.
Confirming their arrival in a post on X, the Super Eagles stated on their official handle: “We are back in the country and we are not happy about the way the two games panned out.
“We have had talks among ourselves and have resolved to fight hard till the end to ensure we do the impossible which is qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
“We don’t take your support for granted, we thank you immensely.”
