Former International athlete Victor Ikpeba voiced his support for the Super Eagles on Tuesday, August 26, encouraging them to regain their stride in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification process by securing victories over Rwanda and South Africa.
As per the current statistics, it is claimed that Eric Chelle’s team (The Super Eagles of Nigeria) has managed only one victory in six matches during the qualifying series.
