Nigeria's national football team will not receive a share of FIFA's $871 million fund designated for the 2026 World Cup, following their failure to qualify for the tournament.

This marks a significant setback for Nigerian football, as participation in the tournament typically provides financial benefits and global exposure. The absence from the competition underscores the challenges faced by the team in the qualification process.
