Former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has called on the Federal Government to dissolve the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) if the national team fails to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, the former Chelsea midfielder criticised the football body for what he described as poor leadership and disorganisation, which he blamed for Nigeria’s struggles in the ongoing qualifiers.
“If Nigeria doesn’t qualify for the World Cup, the entire NFF board has to go… it’s unacceptable,” Mikel said.
He recalled that the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and expressed concern that history may repeat itself. “We didn’t qualify for Qatar, and now it looks like again we are not going to make it. Honestly, I have nothing to say about it,” he added
