The Super Eagles remain Nigeria’s most unifying symbol. When the green-and-white jersey steps onto the pitch, ethnic, religious, and political divisions momentarily fade. But can Nigeria ever win the FIFA World Cup?

Strengths
- A deep talent pool from local leagues and diaspora.
- Global stars like Victor Osimhen, Wilfred Ndidi, and Samuel Chukwueze.

The Way Forward
- Invest in grassroots academies.

- Ensure transparent governance in NFF.
- Adopt sports science and data analytics.

Conclusion
Nigeria has the raw talent to lift the World Cup, but only discipline, planning, and visionary leadership can transform potential into glory.
