The newly appointed head coach of the Super Eagles, Finidi George, has emphasized the importance of total commitment from his players as they strive to secure a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.



At 53, Finidi was officially introduced to the media by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Monday, marking the beginning of his tenure.

Under his leadership, the team aims to qualify for the World Cup, with immediate focus on crucial qualifiers against South Africa and Benin next month.

With a one-year contract in hand and an option for extension, Finidi George faces the pressing task of steering the Super Eagles to victory.

Currently winless in Group C, the team has drawn their initial matches against Lesotho and Zimbabwe. In his address to the media, Finidi stressed the significance of prioritizing Nigeria above all else, urging players to bring the same level of dedication they display for their clubs.

"The first targets are to qualify for the World Cup and AFCON," Finidi asserted, highlighting the importance of securing a win against South Africa to set a positive trajectory. With the stakes high, the Super Eagles' journey to the World Cup hinges on their performance under Finidi's guidance.
