Simon upbeat Super Eagles will qualify for 2026 World Cup

Moses Simon is optimistic the Super Eagles will earn a berth at the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite a poor start to the qualifying series.

The three-time African champions are languishing in fifth position in Group D with three points from four games.

The Super Eagles must at least win their remaining six games in the qualifiers to be sure of a place at the 2026 World Cup finals, which will be co-hosted by Mexico, Canada and the United States of America.

“We have the quality; we have what it takes to win,” the 29-year-old told BBC Sport Africa. We don’t believe that we are not going to the World Cup. The last qualifying games, we missed regular players and I believe they’ll be there next year to help the team.”
