With an agreement in place with Eric Chelle for a new contract as Super Eagles coach, Nigeria have begun preparations for both the 2027 AFCON as well as the 2030 World Cup.
This is according to the chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Shehu Dikko.
“We have the next AFCON (2027), the next World Cup (2030), we have to start preparing now,” he announced.
“We have to ensure that all the mistakes we suffered do not happen again, learn from our mistakes and make things better.
“We have to put the building blocks and foundation for the future.”
The NSC boss also explained why Eric Chelle will now take full charge of the country’s U23 team, the Olympic team.
“He will take care of the U23s so that we don’t have different ideas from the U23s to the Super Eagles,” he reasoned.
