Omeruo, Ndidi Back Chelle To Deliver 2026 World Cup Ticket

Kenneth Omeruo and Wilfred Ndidi have declared their support for the new head of the Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle.

Chelle has been saddled with the responsibility of guiding the Super Eagles through a difficult 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.

The Super Eagles are second from bottom in Group C with three points from four games.
Omeruo insisted qualifying for the Mundial is still a possibility despite the team’s poor start to the qualifiers.

“The new coach has something to give to the Super Eagles,” the Kasimpasa star said during a live session on his X handle, which he co-hosted with Ndidi.
“We saw a very organised Mali during our friendly match last year and at the AFCON.

“And now with the talent in Nigeria, we expect even more.” Ndidi also shared the centre-back’s optimism.

“With our quality and the new coach, we will qualify for the 2026 World Cup,” the Leicester City star declared.

“It won’t be easy, but we’re all together in the task to qualify for the World Cup.”

The Super Eagles will face the Amavubi of Rwanda and Warriors of Zimbabwe when the qualifiers resume in March.
