Find out how the NLC strike is affecting the Super Eagles' camp ahead of the World Cup qualifiers!

The ongoing Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) strike has caused a delay in the arrival of eight Super Eagles players at the camp in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic. The players, including notable names like Lookman and Iwobi, are unable to join their teammates due to the strike. This delay has impacted the team's preparation and training schedule as they gear up for the crucial matches.

Despite the setbacks, the Super Eagles coaching staff, led by Finidi George, is working tirelessly to ensure that the team is ready for the upcoming games. With only 15 players currently in camp, there is a sense of urgency to have the full squad assembled as soon as possible. The absence of key players like Troost-Ekong poses a challenge, but the team remains focused on the task at hand.

In the midst of the strike-induced chaos, former Nigeria striker Victor Ikpeba has issued a warning about underestimating the opposing team led by Hugo Broos. The unpredictability of football and the potential for upsets serve as a reminder for the Super Eagles to stay vigilant and not take their opponents lightly. The excitement is building as fans eagerly anticipate the outcome of the World Cup qualifiers.

As the Super Eagles navigate through this challenging period, the support and encouragement from fans across the country remain unwavering. With the determination to overcome obstacles and emerge victorious, the team is motivated to give their all on the field. Stay tuned for more updates on the Super Eagles' journey towards World Cup qualification!
