Former Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi has demanded the dissolution of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) if the national team fails to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Nigeria’s hopes of reaching the tournament hang by a thread after a draw against South Africa left them third in Group C, six points adrift of Bafana Bafana with only two games remaining.

Mikel blamed the NFF for the team’s poor run, accusing the football body of failing to organise itself properly.
“If Nigeria doesn’t qualify for the World Cup, the entire NFF board has to go… it’s unacceptable,” the former Chelsea midfielder said on his Obi One Podcast.
He recalled Nigeria’s failure to reach Qatar 2022 and warned that another absence would be disastrous.
