Did Nigeria play in Qatar?

The Super Eagles of Nigeria did not qualify for the 2022 World Cup, after losing the play-offs against Ghana - much to the anger of many local fans after the second game in Abuja.

The Black Stars did not do well at the World Cup, as they were bundled out in the group stages.

According to the report on Complete Sports, Motsepe rates Nigeria as a country that can make Africa proud at the World Cup.

The statement made by Motsepe

“I am absolutely confident because of the talent, God-given skills, and history of Nigerian football. Nigeria is one of those countries that have the potential not just to go to the semi-final, not just to go to the final, but to win the World Cup.''
