I want to take Nigeria to 2026 World Cup – Osimhen

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has reaffirmed determination to help Nigeria qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The three-time African champions missed the last edition of the tournament in Qatar, but will now battle through the playoffs in Morocco next month where they will face Gabon, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo after failing to secure automatic qualification.

Eric Chelle’s men will begin their campaign with a semi-final clash against Gabon on Thursday, November 13.

Osimhen, who scored a hat-trick in Nigeria’s 4-0 victory over Benin Republic earlier this month, said he is fully committed to leading his country to the global stage.

“My focus is here now (Galatasaray). Next month is the World Cup playoffs. I will help my teammates with my goals, assists and everything.”
