William Troost-Ekong has reflected on the Super Eagles’ struggles in qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to Urban Express News.
Nigeria secured a place in the playoffs after a comfortable 4-0 victory over the Cheetahs of the Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Tuesday night.
After a slow start, the Super Eagles recorded three wins and one draw from their last four games to make the playoffs.
Troost-Ekong said it has been a tough campaign for the team.
“I think it’s time that we continue to support this team. It’s easy to celebrate good moments, but it’s been a really tough ride these last months. That’s down to us, but we’ve come out now and achieved something that many said was impossible,” the captain told reporters in Uyo.
Gabon, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo are the other countries that will feature in the playoffs.
