48 Kenneth Omeruo says the Super Eagles will now shift attention to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers following their friendly tour in Morocco.
The Super Eagles engaged in two friendlies against Ghana and Mali as part of their preparations for the World Cup qualifiers.
The West Africans defeated their eternal rivals Ghana 2-1 and lost 2-0 to Mali in the two friendlies.
Omeruo assured that the players are determined to give their all for maximum points when the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers resume in June.

“We went into the match against Mali determined to win, just as we did against Ghana. In the end, they took their chances and we failed to take ours. That’s football. You just have to take the chances that come your way,” he was quoted by thenff.com.
“Many players in the group have not played at the World Cup before and they see this as the big opportunity to be there. We cannot afford to let ourselves and the nation down.”
The Super Eagles will face South Africa and Benin Republic in their next two games in the World Cup qualifiers.
They are yet to record a win in the qualifiers having drawn their opening two games against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
