Chelle Says Super Eagles Can Still Qualify for World Cup if They Stay Strong
Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, remains hopeful that Nigeria can still secure a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite a rough start to the qualifiers. The team, currently sitting fourth in their group and trailing leaders South Africa by six points, faces a tough road ahead. With four games left, Chelle believes there’s still enough time to turn things around.
Nigeria’s recent victory at the Unity Cup in London has given the squad a much-needed morale boost. As they gear up for the crucial September and October qualifiers, Chelle is urging his players to raise their game. Reviewing their Unity Cup performance, he said, “We scored goals, created chances, and showed positive signs. What matters is playing as one – both in attack and defence.”
He stressed the need for more growth, not just in skill but in mindset. “We need to keep improving physically and mentally,” he said. “We have to become real warriors on the pitch.” The Super Eagles will host Rwanda in Uyo before heading to South Africa for their next qualifiers.
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
