No Comments on 2026 WCQ Playoffs: Osimhen To Captain Super Eagles Against DR Congo With Ndidi Banned

Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen is set to captain the Super Eagles in their 2026 World Cup playoff final against the Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday.

According to Sports Village Square, Osimhen will take the armband from Wilfred Ndidi, who is suspended for the game in Rabat, Morocco.

Ndidi will serve a one-game ban against the Leopards, after picking up a booking in the 4-1 win over Gabon in the semi-final on Thursday.

Osimhen, who scored twice in that game, is also walking a disciplinary tightrope.

The 26-year-old was shown a yellow card for pulling off his shirt while celebrating his first goal in extra time.

Another booking against DR Congo could see him serve a one-game suspension too.

Head coach Eric Chelle will be counting on Osimhen’s goals again, to clinch the African ticket for the intercontinental playoffs.

No Comments on 2026 WCQ: I Never Fake Care – Nwabali Tells Osimhen Amid Clash With Bassey, Ndidi

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has shared a cryptic Instagram post believed to be directed at striker Victor Osimhen.

It comes just days after a tense on-field clash involving Nwabali, Wilfred Ndidi and Calvin Bassey during Nigeria’s 4-0 win over Benin Republic in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.

Osimhen scored a hat-trick as the three-time African champions made it into the continental playoffs.

However, there were criticisms aimed at Nwabali and some of his antics, especially after his mistakes in a 2-1 win over Lesotho last week.

While a lot of observers called for Nwabali to be dropped, head coach Eric Chelle kept with him.

But the Chippa United stopper was involved in flash incidents with his own team-mates.

First, he pushed Ndidi who tried to calm him down after he confronted a Benin player.

At half time, as the players trudged off the pitch, he was seen arguing with Bassey.

He has now added a layer to the incident by writing on his Instagram story: “I never fake care anyone.

“What I give, I give from my heart. Choose a good heart.

“People change so fast… I believe you VO9.”
