Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Super Eagles to concentrate on the 2026 African Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco following their penalty shootout loss to the Democratic Republic of Congo in World Cup qualifying. Through a statement released by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu emphasized the need for rapid recovery after the team's second consecutive failure to reach the global tournament.

The president praised the squad's determination throughout the qualifying campaign while calling for a thorough examination of the nation's football operations. Tinubu urged administrators, coaches, players and stakeholders to identify and address weaknesses that hindered the qualification effort.

Despite widespread disappointment among supporters, Tinubu highlighted the continental championship as an immediate chance for redemption. He rallied the team to prepare thoroughly for the competition and restore the country's football reputation through a strong performance.
