Why Nigeria may not have a national team by 2030

I believe you must have seen the recently released preliminary list for the upcoming World Cup qualifier fixtures for September, and you’re probably still carrying that ray of hope of another “miraculous” qualification for FIFA 26 like Korea/Japan 2002. But what if I told you that, beyond these qualifiers that by 2030, Nigeria may not have a National Team. We might still have footballers, jerseys, and stadiums. But the question is: will we truly have a national team? Or will the Super Eagles exist only as a name, stripped of identity, stripped of cohesion, and stripped of the cultural power they once carried?
