#image_title

Nigeria’s hopes of securing a place at the 2026 World Cup took a hit after a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Zimbabwe.

With six matches played, the Super Eagles sit fourth in Group C with seven points, while South Africa leads the group with 13. The result has further complicated Nigeria’s qualification path.

Africa has been allocated nine automatic spots for the tournament, while a tenth team will have a chance through an intercontinental playoff. Group winners earn direct qualification, while the four best second-placed teams will compete for the playoff berths.

Teams Currently in Playoff Spots:

1. Gabon – 15 points

2. Cameroon – 12 points

3. Senegal – 12 points

4. Namibia – 12 points

5. Comoros – 12 points

6. Mozambique – 12 points

7. Burkina Faso – 11 points
