Nigerian teams far away on the African continent are full of stars, but they lack the same fate as the Chinese national football team, that is, they are about to miss the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup!

Nigeria's last two rounds of group matches:
October 7 00:00 Lesotho vs. Nigeria
October 14 00:00 Nigeria vs. Benin
Benin's last two rounds of group matches:
October 7 00:00 Rwanda vs. Benin
October 14 00:00 Nigeria vs. Benin
South Africa's last two rounds of group matches:
October 7 00:00 Zimbabwe vs. South Africa
October 14 00:00 South Africa vs. Rwanda
Through the last two rounds of schedule, it is not difficult to see that Nigeria is already an impossible task to get the top spot in the group, so it is only possible to fight Benin to get the second place in the group. However, the African region's qualifying rules are that the first place in 9 groups will directly advance to the World Cup, and the other four best-achieving groups will compete for the last qualifying for the Intercontinental Playoff.
The second-place scores in other groups are currently between 15 and 19 points. Even if Nigeria wins all the points in the last two rounds, it will be difficult for it to qualify for the playoffs. We can only pray for good luck to the African Eagles!
