2026 FIFA World Cup: Gayton McKenzie Declares Negative Vibes for  Nigeria’s Super Eagles…..details

….Why I don’t want Nigeria to qualify for 2026 World Cup – Gayton McKenzie

South Africa’s Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, has declared that he does not want Nigeria’s Super Eagles to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking during an interview with Radio 947 in Johannesburg, McKenzie accused Nigeria of allegedly working against South Africa’s qualification efforts for the tournament.

-“I heard you saying earlier that we [South Africa] were rooting also for Nigeria,” he said. “I want to make it very clear that I wish for them not to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”

The 51-year-old former gangster-turned- politician insisted that his stance stemmed from Nigeria’s supposed behind-the-scenes actions during the qualification process.

“I knew what they did behind the scenes for us not to get there. I want them to lose; they will not go to the World Cup, and another African country must go,” McKenzie added.

His comments have sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many football fans across Africa debating the growing rivalry between Nigeria and South Africa on and off the pitch.
