L'ancien Lensois avait quitté la tête des Lions indomptables il y a près d'un an, il sera notamment assisté d'Éloge Enza-Yamissi. L'international de RCA avait succédé à Raoul Savoy, limogé en octobre 2024.- Éric Chelle dans les starting blocks ! L'ancien technicien du Mali et du Mouloudia d'Oran désormais à la tête des Super Eagles a été présenté hier à la presse à Abuja. L'ancien défenseur international malien compte relancer une sélection ouest-africaine en mauvaise posture dans la course à l'Amérique.

This week on It Was What It Was, we're looking at one of football's most remarkable underdog stories. Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper take us back to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, where Nigeria's “Dream Team” shocked the world and won men's gold - the first African team to win a senior global football tournament. From Kanu's heroics, to dramatic comeback victories over Brazil and Argentina, they explore how this historic triumph cemented African football on the global stage - and inspired a new generation of players.

Last month, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) awarded Nigeria victory in a forfeited 2025 Nations Cup qualifier against Libya, and fined Libya $50,000.It came after an investigation found that a plane carrying the Nigerian squad had been deliberately redirected to the wrong airport – where the Super Eagles were left for nearly 20 hours without food, water or internet access. The incident has yet again exposed the unorthodox – and unsporting - tactics which are often used against visiting teams in African football. So why has psychological and physical intimidation been allowed to continue?Presenter: Mpho LakajeGuests: Sports journalist Oluwashina Okeleji, and Isha Johansen, former president of Sierra Leone Football Association, and a member of FIFA's council, and the CAF executive committee.
