AFCON 2027Q: Super Eagles won’t repeat World Cup qualifying mistakes – Ndidi

Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi has emphasized the importance of a strong start to Nigeria's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, according to a report by the DAILY POST. Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to a poor performance in the opening four matches of the qualifiers, with three draws and one loss.

Ndidi, however, has expressed confidence that the Super Eagles have learned from their past errors and are committed to avoiding a repeat of those mistakes. "It will never happen again because this is a focused team. We are planning to set the momentum, because the first game is the most important game in every competition," Ndidi told reporters during a press conference in Uyo.

The Super Eagles kick off their 2027 AFCON qualifying campaign tonight against Madagascar at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
