“Love the energy” – Wizkid backs Super Eagles ahead of World Cup qualifiers

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Ayodeji Balogun (Wizkid) has expressed support for the Super Eagles, praising the energy surrounding the team under new head coach Eric Chelle.
Chelle, appointed in January, faces the challenge of guiding Nigeria to the 2026 FIFA World Cup after their absence from the 2022 edition.
With crucial qualifiers ahead, Wizkid took to X (formerly Twitter) to show his support for the squad.
A passionate football fan, the Grammy-winning artist has previously displayed his love for the game.
His endorsement is a morale booster for the Super Eagles, with players like Alex Iwobi known to be fans of his music.
Meanwhile, Nigeria face Rwanda in Kigali on March 21 before hosting Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo four days later.
