Why Super Eagles players didn't want to go to 2026 World Cup - Onugkha

Rodina Moscow forward German Onugkha claims that Super Eagles players lacked motivation to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup because they were already wealthy. He states that their low incentive to participate, despite their roster being valued at around half a billion dollars, led to their failure, citing a lack of desire to compete. Nigeria failed to qualify after losing 4-3 on penalties to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the African playoff final. Onugkha, who pledged his international future to Nigeria, criticizes the players' mentality and their preference for vacation over tournament participation.
