Up to six players who have represented other countries on several levels are willing to represent the Nigerian national team in the 2026 World Cup, Owngoalnigeria.com can reveal exclusively.
Nigeria faces a difficult spell in his attempt to be in the World Cup, since they have won only one of their first six games in the qualifiers. Drawing four and losing one. They currently sit in fourth position in their group of six teams. Six points behind South Africa leaders.
However, there is a ray of hope that FIFA will attract three points from the South Africa count after they appeared to an inelegable player in his 2-0 victory over Lesotho. Chief coach Eric Chelle also trusts that his team will take advantage of that decision when it is finally implemented as expected.
Up to that point, he has already made contacts with six players who are willing to be part of the team despite representing other countries or born abroad. The upper part is Tosin Adarabiyio, who indicated his desire to play in the World Cup and has opened to want to take the option to play for Nigeria.
Adarabioyo said: “The World Cup means that it is a decision that I need to make sooner rather than later. It is a conversation that we will have and see how it goes.” He said in the current Club Cup.
Empoli Tino Anjorin’s midfielder, who is approaching Torino’s movement, has also given Chelle. Dapo Apholayan, from the Bundesliga team, St. Pauli made the same vote after meeting Chelle in London during the unit games.
The wedding arrangements prevented Moritz Jenz, who spent last season in a loan to Mainz 05 by Wolfsburg to meet with Chelle, after positive conversations during the course of last season.
Sam Edozie, who spent last season in Belgium, with Anderlecht on a loan from Southampton has also committed to the Super Eagles, as well as the midfielder of the Everton Tim Iroegbunam.
