Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has apologized to Nigerians following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Osimhen said the Super Eagles were sorry for not qualifying for the world’s biggest tournament.
The Galatasaray star spoke ahead of Nigeria’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, clash against Tanzania in Fès on Tuesday.
“The expectations are very high. This AFCON is an opportunity for us to try and write out wrongs,” Osimhen told Pooja Media.
“Make the Super Eagles fans all over the world believe that there is so much more we can give. We are so sorry.
“We have to use this opportunity to say we are so sorry for not getting the World Cup ticket. We know the disappointment in the faces of Nigerian fans, it has happened, and we have to keep it going,” he said.
Recall that Nigeria failed to secure the World Cup ticket after losing to DR Congo in the playoff final encounter a few weeks ago.
