‘We’ll make World Cup in the mighty name of Jesus’ - Iwobi and Aina prophesy following Zimbabwe draw

Stephen Oladehinde 11:44 - 26.03.2025

Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi and Ola Aina have turned their attention to God following their disappointing draw against Zimbabwe.

Nigeria failed to continue their momentum as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Uyo during their 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Zimbabwe salvaged a point in injury time, equalising after Victor Osimhen had given the Super Eagles the lead late in the second half.

The draw leaves the Super Eagles fourth on the table, with their chances of making it to the World Cup fading away.

Aina and Iwobi’s message

Aina and Iwobi have posted on social media to reassure Nigerian football fans that the team's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup remains on track.

Fulham star Iwobi shared an encouraging message on his Snapchat story, as shared on X to uplift disheartened football fans, “We’ll make [the] World Cup in the mighty name of Jesus.”

Ola Aina, the Nottingham Forest full-back, followed suit shortly after, posting a similar message on his Snapchat story, as shared on X, to reassure fans, “We will make this WC.”

The players were trying to boost the morale of Nigerian football fans, many of whom were disappointed by the team's late collapse against Zimbabwe.

Nigeria's quest for a 2026 World Cup berth in the USA, Canada, and Mexico continues amid mounting pressure on the squad ahead of the final qualifying games.
