Former Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has described Nigeria’s absence from the upcoming FIFA World Cup as a ‘real shame,’ especially for fans hoping to watch Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman compete on football’s biggest stage. Speaking after the latest round of qualification results, Rohr expressed disappointment that Nigerian talents will not get the chance to showcase their abilities at the tournament.
According to Rohr, the absence of key players like Osimhen and Lookman is a blow not just for Nigeria but for global football audiences who look forward to seeing African stars compete. The specific qualification result and decisive moments leading to Nigeria’s absence were not reported in the available source material.
For Super Eagles supporters, the pain of missing another World Cup is keenly felt, especially with players like Osimhen recently shining in European leagues and Lookman making headlines for his club form.

Nigerian Legend Casts Doubt on Victor Osimhen’s Credentials to Lead Super Eagles
Super Eagles icon says Osimhen lacks key leadership traits needed for captaincy, raising fresh debate among fans
Super Eagles icon says Osimhen lacks key leadership traits needed for captaincy, raising fresh debate among fans
A Nigerian football legend has openly questioned Victor Osimhen’s suitability to captain the Super Eagles, claiming the Napoli striker does not possess the qualities required for the national team’s armband. The former international, whose name and specific remarks were not confirmed in available reports, insisted he could not support Osimhen for the role at this time.
Details about when or where these comments were made have not been provided, nor has any direct response from Victor Osimhen or the current Super Eagles coaching staff. The claim, however, has already ignited discussion among supporters and observers about what makes an effective leader for Nigeria’s national team.
For many Super Eagles fans, the issue of captaincy is more than just a title — it reflects on-field authority, maturity under pressure, and ability to unite a diverse squad. Osimhen, one of Africa’s most prolific forwards in European football, has led the line with goals but his leadership style continues to divide opinion among ex-internationals and supporters alike.
Neither Victor Osimhen nor representatives from the Nigerian Football Federation had issued a statement at press time. No official comment was available from Super Eagles head coach or other senior players regarding these claims.
The Super Eagles will return to action soon as they continue their campaign in upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. Details of their next fixture — including date, venue and opponent — were not specified in available reports.
