The Authentic Nigeria Football and Allied Sports Supporters Club (ANFASSC), under the distinguished leadership of its president, Prince Abayomi Ogunjimi, extends heartfelt commendation to the Super Eagles following their hard-fought encounter against the Democratic Republic of Congo in the World Cup Qualifier. The match, which concluded with a narrow defeat after a tense penalty shootout, was a powerful display of resilience, national pride, and commitment from our players.
Although the result fell short of the expectations of millions of Nigerians globally, ANFASSC recognizes the immense effort, tactical discipline, and mental strength shown by the team throughout the competition. Football is a game of fine margins, and while victory eluded us on this occasion, the Super Eagles demonstrated the character and fighting spirit that have always defined Nigeria on the global stage.
This moment is understandably disappointing for supporters, as qualification to the world’s biggest football event remains a collective dream. Yet, ANFASSC emphasizes that setbacks do not diminish the quality, potential, or future prospects of our national team. Instead, they serve as moments of reflection and renewed determination.
As we look forward, we trust that the lessons learned will shape a stronger, more focused squad prepared for upcoming competitions.
ANFASSC remains proud of every supporter who stood behind the team—both at home and across international communities.
From the stadium stands to homes, viewing centers, and diaspora gatherings, the unity displayed by Nigerians once again reaffirmed our shared belief in the Super Eagles.
In this period, ANFASSC calls for calm, continued encouragement, and unwavering faith in the journey ahead. As a nation, we rally not only in moments of triumph but also in times of challenge.
The Super Eagles remain a symbol of hope, talent, and national identity, and ANFASSC will continue to support them with passion and loyalty.
Together, we look forward to a brighter chapter of the Africa Cup of Nation (AFCON) 2026—because Nigerian football will always rise.
