The final accreditation list released for the tournament includes DR Congo and leaves no slot for the Super Eagles, shutting the door on Nigeria’s hopes.
Nigeria’s Football Federation had filed a protest after the November 2025 CAF play‑off, where the Super Eagles drew 1–1 with DR Congo but lost on penalties. The NFF argued that DR Congo fielded ineligible players but FIFA’s updated communication made no changes to the qualified teams, meaning the appeal failed and the earlier result stands.
This confirmation ends Nigeria’s last pathway to the expanded 2026 World Cup, while DR Congo proceeds to join the six‑team play‑off lineup that includes Bolivia, Iraq, Jamaica, New Caledonia, and Suriname.

I no say that propaganda no go work where FIFA they.
