AUSTIN EGUAVOEN: GOVERNMENT MUST STEP UP TO HONOR NIGERIAN FOOTBALL HEROES!

Super Eagles Technical Director Austin Eguavoen voiced his deep concerns regarding the lack of recognition and support for Nigerian football legends, particularly in the wake of Peter Rufai's burial.

He expressed his belief that the government and relevant authorities should do more to honor the sacrifices and contributions of these athletes.

Eguavoen shared a harrowing personal experience from his playing days, recounting a moment during the Confederation Cup where he was nearly blinded.

He emphasized the risks athletes take to represent their country and drew a parallel to the military, highlighting the need for greater appreciation.

He expressed his sadness over the passing of legends like Keshi and Okafor, and criticized the inadequate support and recognition they received.

Eguavoen passionately stated, "I don't think we've done enough," and urged for a change in attitude, calling on the government to take responsibility and provide the necessary support to celebrate and honor these national heroes.

“I will never advice even my son to put his feet for this country.. Could you imagine that the family would be crying just to solicit in within our groups to ask for money? That is madness. Look, please let me go. I don’t want to pour my heart.
It’s disheartening that you have Lagos State, you have the Nigerian Football Association. They drop the bulk on the family. I felt in my spirit that there is nothing to put your life for. That’s why I say I have to shift back so that I will not implode. It’s grieving.
My mother passed on. I never shed tears. My father passed on in my hands. I never shed tears. When Rufai passed on, I had goose pimples on my body. And for every individual I’m speaking to, there were tears rolling down my cheeks.

Newcastle United statement: Alexander Isak

We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening. We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer.

We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views. As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. We do not foresee those conditions being met.

This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates.

Eric Chelle: "I have heard a lot of stories about them wanting to sack me and replace me with another coach. I have heard about that," he told Journalist Osasu Obayiuwana.

"I know, quite well, that I can be fired after one match. This is the life in football. But if they decide to do that, they must be prepared to pay up the remainder of my contract."

"When I came to coach Nigeria, I didn’t come here because of money. I was earning more in my last job. I came to Nigeria because this is a very big team, and I want to prove something, to achieve something. I came here for the challenge. Nothing has changed about that."

People have already written us off, with my team failing so far to win a single home match in qualifying. But I am not bothered by that. I am concentrating on preparing my players for the remaining four games that we have. I think that we are going to surprise a lot of people.

What's your reaction about it.

A CLARION CALL TOWARDS 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS TO
THE NIGERIA FOOTBALL FEDERATION.

I stumbled on this piece written by seasoned and highly respected football historian Kunle Solaja and decided to amplify it as the Super Eagles look to keep their 2026 World Cup aspirations alive.

The camp of the team opens in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on September 1 ahead of the first of two qualifiers against tricky Rwanda before the trip to Bloemfontein a few days later for the clash against group leaders South Africa.

Read on:
In exactly 20 days, Bloemfontein will host one of Africa’s fiercest football rivalries when South Africa’s Bafana Bafana face Nigeria’s Super Eagles in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match.

But beyond the tactical battle, another opponent looms large for the Super Eagles: the unforgiving climate of South Africa’s high plateau.

The match is scheduled for 9 September at the Free State Stadium, a venue sitting at over 1,300 metres above sea level.

For Nigeria, more accustomed to humid, low-altitude conditions, the thinner air and biting winter chill of the Southern Hemisphere could pose a stern physical and mental test.

A Chilling Reminder from 2010
The Super Eagles have been here before — and painfully so. At the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Nigeria’s 2-1 defeat to Greece in Bloemfontein was marked not only by Sani Kaita’s red card but also by visible signs of fatigue and discomfort in the freezing conditions.

Then, Nigeria’s officials chose to base the team in Durban, a coastal city with warm year-round weather, ignoring the fact that two of their three group-stage games were scheduled in colder, high-altitude cities like Johannesburg and Bloemfontein.

By contrast, England prepared in the Austrian Alps to acclimatise before heading south.

The effects were telling. By the second group game against Greece, players appeared drained even before Kaita’s dismissal.

From personal experience in Bloemfontein, my colleague, Tunde Su

𝐍𝐄𝐖: Ademola Lookman Not Keen on Arsenal Move, Lookman has reportedly turned down the opportunity to join Arsenal, as the Atalanta forward is determined to secure a move to Inter Milan, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Despite interest from Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, Lookman is said to have no desire to return to England. An intermediary acting on behalf of Atalanta is understood to have offered the player to Arsenal, but Lookman remains focused solely on a transfer to Inter.

The Nigerian forward has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Nerazzurri and is now awaiting the club to submit a formal offer that satisfies Atalanta’s demands. In the meantime, he has stayed away from Atalanta training as he holds out for the deal to materialize.

Reports suggest that Arsenal are willing to outbid Inter for Lookman’s services, but the player’s preference remains clear—he wants Inter or nothing.🤞
