World Cup Qualifier: Iheanacho Confident Super Eagles Will Turn Their Fortunes Around
Sevilla forward Kelechi Iheanacho has expressed confidence in the Super Eagles’ ability to turn their fortunes around in the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Speaking with BSNSports.com.ng, Iheanacho assured fans that the team is determined to qualify for the global tournament despite a challenging start.
The three-time African champions have struggled in the qualifiers, failing to secure a win in their first four games. This has left them with no choice but to win their remaining matches to stand a chance of making it to the Mundial.
Reflecting on the team’s performance, particularly in the final game of the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Rwanda, Iheanacho acknowledged the doubts among supporters but emphasized the team’s resolve.
“We must go with anger and win all these games. This is the World Cup qualifiers, and we know how big it is,” Iheanacho said. “I can’t wait for it to start so we can do this thing, so everyone will rest and not worry that we won’t go to the World Cup.”
The Super Eagles’ next game in the qualifiers is a high-stakes encounter against the Amavubi of Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium. The team faces immense pressure to deliver a decisive victory and revive their World Cup hopes.
Fans will be watching closely as the Super Eagles seek to reclaim their status as one of Africa’s football powerhouses and secure a spot in the prestigious tournament.
