In a tweet on its official handle, they promised to fight hard to ensure that Nigeria picks the ticket to the world cup finals. 

"We are back in the country and we are not happy about the way the two games panned out. We have had talks among ourselves and have resolved to fight hard till the end to ensure we do the impossible which is qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. 

"We don't take your support for granted, we thank you immensely. Soar Super Eagles."
