Editorial



As the Super Eagles adjust their sails towards the looming World Cup qualifiers, the decision to hold a closed training session speaks volumes about their tactical prudence. This approach, initiated by Coach Finidi George, reflects a deep seated commitment to focus and discipline within the squad. While the absence of key players like Osimhen and Tella could be seen as a blow, it also opens avenues for other players to step up and be counted.



The upcoming games are not merely matches but pivotal moments that could define the future of Nigerian football on the global stage. The team's current standing in Group C necessitates a win against South Africa to secure a more favourable position for advancing.
