The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has increased Super Eagles Head Coach Eric Chelle's monthly salary to $100,000 and appointed him as the manager of Nigeria’s U-23 national team. This decision was made during a joint meeting of the National Sports Commission and the NFF.

William Troost-Ekong, the former captain of the Super Eagles, disclosed that he attempted to persuade Canadian striker Promise David to represent Nigeria instead of Canada. Despite considering a switch to Nigeria, David ultimately chose to play for Canada, following his participation with Nigeria's Olympic national team in 2023.

Former Nigeria captain Troost-Ekong has expressed the opinion that Stanley Nwabali should have remained at Chippa United to enhance his chances of being selected for the Super Eagles. Troost-Ekong's comments suggest that staying with the club could have been more beneficial for Nwabali's international career.

Ekiti United is preparing to announce Jacob Vandi as their new head coach for the upcoming 2026-27 Nigeria National League season. He will replace Idris Bolarinwa, who departed the club after leading Ekiti United to a third-place finish in NNL Conference B last season, according to Daily Post (NG).

Amaju Pinnick has sparked discussion regarding his role in Nigerian football after a recent appearance on Arise TV, where he addressed the ongoing FIFA World Cup and the absence of Nigeria's Super Eagles. The conversation has raised questions about his position and leadership within the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), particularly as many believe he should be stepping down from his role.

William Troost-Ekong commented on Stanley Nwabali's decision to leave Chippa United, suggesting it was a mistake that resulted in Nwabali being without a club. This situation has affected Nwabali's chances of being selected for the Super Eagles team, according to Legit.ng.
