Former Nigeria goalkeeper, Alloy Agu, has expressed optimism that the Super Eagles can still qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite their shaky start in the qualifiers.

Speaking exclusively to Sportsblog247.com, the 58-year-old maintained that “nothing is impossible in football” as he backed the national team to turn their campaign around in Group C.

Agu, who featured for Nigeria during his playing days, urged all stakeholders—players, coaches, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), and even state governments—to rally behind the team as they prepare for a crucial clash against Rwanda this weekend in Uyo, followed by a trip to face South Africa in Bloemfontein.

> “Impossible does not exist in football. We saw it in the Liverpool versus Arsenal game on Sunday—it looked set to end goalless but changed in the dying minutes. That’s how football is. The Super Eagles can still make it if everyone does the right thing,” Agu said.

He stressed that victory in Uyo against Rwanda would be the perfect starting point to reignite Nigeria’s qualification hopes, insisting that with the country’s pool of talent, a seventh appearance at the World Cup finals—after 1994, 1998, 2002, 2010, 2014, and 2018—is achievable.

Agu concluded by reaffirming his belief that with unity, focus, and determination, the Super Eagles can still fly high and secure a ticket to the 2026 World Cup in Mexico, USA, and Canada.
