Despite losing the playoff final to DR Congo on Sunday, President Bola Tinubu has praised the Super Eagles for making every attempt to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Tinubu has now pushed the team to move past the setback and get ready for the African Cup of Nations.

After a 1-1 draw in 120 minutes, Nigeria lost 4-3 in the penalty shootout, ending their hopes of competing in the World Cup.

“Notwithstanding the unfortunate loss, we must commend the players for their efforts and continue to support them,” Tinubu said in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

“We must now plug all the loopholes. Our football administrators, players, and indeed all stakeholders must go back to the drawing board.

“Now is the time to focus all efforts on the Cup of Nations. Our Super Eagles must recover the lost glory.”
