Moses Simon is refusing to accept the possibility of the Super Eagles failing to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The West Africans are languishing in fifth place in their six-team group with just three points from their opening four matches.
Simon is however adamant the Super Eagles will scale through the hurdle.
“We have the quality, we have what it takes to win,” the 29-year-old told BBC Sport Africa.
“We don’t believe that we are not going to the World Cup.
“The last qualifying games, we missed regular players and I believe they’ll be there next year to help the team.”
The Super Eagles will take on the Amavubi of Rwanda when the qualifiers resume in March 2025.
