Nigeria’s Super Eagles caretaker coach, Augustine Eguavoen has said the team must have the right mentality to earn a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The three-time African champions, who are yet to win a game in the qualifying series are currently occupy fifth position in Group C with three points from four games.
Rwanda, South Africa and Benin Republic are joint leaders in the group with seven points from same number of matches.
Eguavoen believed the Super Eagles can still make it to the mundial, but insisted they must fight for every point.
“It has to be with positive thinking (for Nigeria to qualify for the World Cup),” Eguavoen told Brila FM.
“We have to approach every game like a cup final and we have a big chance once we keep winning these remaining games even if it were by 1-0.”
The Super Eagles will be away to the Amavubi of Rwanda when the qualifiers resume in March, 2024.
