Nigeria winger Moses Simon remains optimistic about the Super Eagles' chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite a disappointing start, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The three-time African champions are fifth in Group D with three points from four games, but Simon believes they can turn their campaign around.

"We have the quality; we have what it takes to win," Simon told BBC Sport Africa.

"We don't believe that we are not going to the World Cup. The last qualifying games, we missed regular players and I believe they'll be there next year to help the team."

Nigeria face a daunting task, needing to win their remaining six games to secure a spot at the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
