The Super Eagles of Nigeria was meant to begin their journey to Qatar on October 5, 2020, although the Federation of International Football Association (Fifa) had never confirmed the fixtures.
Notwithstanding, Covid-19 has proven to be a cog in the wheel of progress as it has generated heated arguments on when football should return or not.
For instance, the leagues in France, Angola, Niger Republic, Belgium, and so many countries have ended abruptly, while the fate of England’s Premier League is yet to be finalised.
Euro 2020 has been pushed to 2021, while this season’s Champions League and the 2021 Nations League Finals have been shifted.
Should the coronavirus problem persist in the months to come – leading to the suspension of the beautiful game again, then only President Gianni Infantino and Fifa can answer where the Super Eagles can go from there.
