The Super Eagles' slim hopes of at least making it to the 2026 World Cup play-offs took a blow on Monday following Cameroon's 0-0 draw with Angola.
The Indomitable Lions failed to secure maximum points despite playing at home. This means Marc Brys' men are tied on 15 points with Burkina Faso and Niger in the race to finish as one of the top four ranked runners-up across the nine groups.
The result has opened the door for DR Congo, Uganda, or even Nigeria to leapfrog them in the rankings.
