William Troost-Ekong has shared his thoughts on the challenges faced by the Super Eagles in their quest for qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as reported by DAILY POST.
Nigeria secured a spot in the playoffs following a convincing 4-0 win against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday night.
After a slow beginning, the Super Eagles managed to achieve three victories and one draw in their last four matches to reach the playoffs.
Troost-Ekong acknowledged that it has been a difficult campaign for the team.
“I believe it’s time for us to keep supporting this team. While it’s easy to celebrate the good times, the past few months have been quite challenging. That’s on us, but we have now emerged and accomplished something that many deemed impossible,” the captain stated to reporters in Uyo.
Gabon, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo are the other nations that will compete in the playoffs.
