Ronaldinho asked me why Super Eagles didn’t qualify for World Cup – Okocha

Daily Post about 2 hours 1 mins read

Former Super Eagles captain, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha, has revealed that Brazil football legend, Ronaldinho, asked him about Nigeria missing out on the 2026 World Cup.

Eric Chelle’s men failed to qualify for the tournament after they lost the African play-off final to DR Congo.

Speaking on the ObiOne podcast, Okocha praised John Mikel Obi for publicly criticizing the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.

He said: “Kudos to you, John Mikel, you’re speaking up against the Nigerian Federation.

“I live in Nigeria, and the NFF president is my friend, so it’s difficult to speak up.

“I get asked by my colleagues like Ronaldinho why Nigeria hasn’t qualified for the World cup.”
