Super Eagles forward, Akor Adams,has voiced his frustration over Nigeria’s inability to secure a spot at the 2026 World Cup.
The team’s hopes were dashed on Sunday after a tense African play-off final against DR Congo ended in a penalty shootout defeat.
Akor, who plays for Sevilla and was on the scoresheet in Nigeria’s 4-1 semi-final victory over Gabon, shared his feelings on Wednesday through his official X handle, admitting the setback cuts deeply.
“As a Nigerian nothing hurts more than missing out on what could bring the most joy to my people amidst all happening in our dear country.”
With their World Cup dream over, the Super Eagles will now turn their attention to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco next month, aiming to bounce back from the disappointment.
