The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau, has made a passionate appeal to prayer warriors to help the Super Eagles qualify for the 2026 World Cup, according to OwnGoalNigeria. Gusau made this heartfelt plea during the Kano State Football Association (KSFA) awards night, stating that the team's struggles in the qualifying campaign are a spiritual warfare that requires divine intervention.
The Super Eagles are currently struggling in their World Cup qualifying group, occupying a disappointing sixth place with just three points from four matches. Gusau believes that spiritual assistance is necessary to turn the team's fortunes around and secure a spot in the prestigious tournament.
"We are in a spiritual warfare, and we need your prayers to succeed," Gusau said, appealing to religious leaders and prayer warriors. "We are doing our part, but we need divine intervention to achieve our goal. The task ahead is daunting, but with faith and determination, we can overcome any obstacle."
Gusau's appeal has sparked a debate among football fans and religious leaders, with some supporting his call for spiritual assistance while others believe that the team's fate lies solely in their physical preparations and skills. However, many agree that the situation requires urgent attention and collective effort.
The Super Eagles' struggles have left fans worried and concerned, with many calling for drastic measures to salvage the team's qualifying campaign. The team's poor performance has also raised questions about the coaching staff's tactics and player selection.
