He urged the football association to do whatever is possible to ensure that Nigeria qualifies for the 2026 World Cup tournament and mentioned one thing FIFA will gain if it does that.

“FIFA should do everything necessary to make Nigeria 🇳🇬 be at the World Cup by summer; it would help boost the hype around it.”
Reactions as man urges FIFA to add Nigeria
@Tarun879171 advised:
"Instead of the old 32‑team, 64‑match format, FIFA approved a new structure with 12 groups of 4 teams, followed by an expanded knockout phase. That full format adds up to 104 games from the opening match on 11 June 2026 to the final on 19 July 2026."
@ma2014f noted:
"The World Cup should consist of 40 teams in 8 groups of five teams each, with only the first and second qualifying for the round of 32."
@OkesolaOkeyemi said:
"Just add Nigeria to the world cup and you will see the PR you will get from the world cup."
@Oriyomi0930 noted:
"Just put Nigeria in one of the blank spaces... no one will notice,please."

"I'll try to watch each one but Matchday 3 will be my problem."
@spira1903 added:
"To be honest, not excited for this at all. Especially due to the time the games will be played, USA 1994 was already bad enough."
@cubanitooscar1 stressed:
"The planet is counting down. 48 nations. 104 battles. One trophy. This isn't just a tournament… it's destiny calling every single fan on Earth. Who's ready to lose their voice?"
@prolifeai shared:
"Wait, 104 matches? That’s absolutely insane. The 2026 World Cup is going to be on another level—my calendar is officially cleared for June."
