‘Chiefs & Nigeria will watch World Cup from home! Super Eagles wanted to introduce Regina Daniels; ref didn’t want DRC’

Nigeria's Super Eagles' hope of playing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup was ended on Sunday night by the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In the play-offs played in Morocco, Nigeria got past Gabon and the Leoprads defeated Cameroon to make the final. DRC defied the odds to advance; they drew 1-1 with their opponents in both regulation and extra time before winning 4-3 in the penalty shootout.

Bafana Bafana supporters enjoyed the loss owing to the rivalry between the two nations.

Have a look at the reactions by South Africa fans as sampled by Afrik-Foot.

Nigeria same with Manchester United?

Referee didn't want Congo to win, but anyway, he can go sleep now, pains landed safely in Port Harcourt –  Heritier Kambaya

Kaizer Chiefs players and the Nigerian team, same WhatsApp group, will watch the 2026 World Cup at their home – Oupa SectionTen 

The difference between Nigeria and Manchester United is that one is a club and the other is a country – Michael Elegant 

In the 115th minute, the Nigerian coach wanted to bring on Regina Daniels, but he was told she's a Nollywood actress – Fabrice Kalenga Kalex

At the 2026 World Cup draws in Washington, DC, USA, South Africa will be in Pot 1, Ghana in Pot 2, Cote D'Ivoire in Pot 3, and Nigeria will be in ‘Pot' Harcourt – Kwamina Essel 

Osimhen will watch Makgopa in the United States!

We are so excited, the green and white envelope didn't work this time. Everything has where it ends – David Mogalane 

Evidence Makgopa is heading to the United States, while Victor Osihmen will watch him play – Phumudzo Ronald Mudau

Nigerians should support Ghana at the World Cup since we're twin brothers – Amansie Kotoko 

The Democratic Republic of Congo deserved to win the game; they played very well, with good passing accuracy, and they dominated the game – Badaru Olalekan Teslim 

The coach killed the game! Very, very unprofessional. I thought he was a coach until yesterday's decisive playoff match. When you know a team has no transitional power, and you are just there receiving a salary without doing what is expected.
