Nigeria can win the 2030 FIFA World Cup!
The ongoing FIFA World Cup has been a big revelation - the gap between the countries in football is narrowing fast!
A few African countries are showing some glimpses of that possibility that one of them shall win the trophy very soon.
Sam Okpodu, former International player, former coach of the Super Falcons, former Chairman of The Black Coaches Association of the USA, is in Nigeria from his base in America. He looks at the matches and teams in the World Cup…without Nigeria. He observes that there are 12 Nigerians playing in other National teams. He postulates that a Nigerian frontline of Victor Osimhen (Nigeria), Bukayo Saka (England) and Folarin Balogun (USA) would be unstoppable in any World Cup. And that with what we are all witnessing in the current World Cup, Nigeria has the players (if harnessed properly) to win the World Cup. But that the country must do what needs to be done!!!
What should be done?
On ‘90 mins with Mathematical7’ Sam Okpodu, Osasu Obayiuwana (from his first World Cup observatory in New York) and I take a close look at the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup and peer into the possibilities of the 2030 edition.
