Nigerian born Chelsea defender, Kenneth Omeruo has assured Nigerians that the Super Eagles will qualify for the Cameroon 2019 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) despite a dramatic 2-0 loss to Bafana Bafana of South Africa at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.

Eight teams will participate in the Fifa organised Confederation Cup 2017 tournament.  The 2017 Confederations Cup will take place in host country Russia from 17 June to 2 July, 2017. The Confederations Cup acts as a test event before the 2018 World Cup, also to be hosted in Russia.

Nigerian born Leicester City striker, Ahmed Musa has blamed his poor run with Leicester City on his failed marriage. The Super Eagle Striker who made the remark during an interaction with Complete Sports disclosed that he is now happy, having divorced his former wife and married Juliet Adeh.

Indications have emerged that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) may be losing confidence in the Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr following the abysmal performance of the team against the Bafana Bafana at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium Uyo, Akwa Ibom state. The team lost 2-0 to the visitors in the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifier.
