The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed that Wilfred Ndidi is eligible to feature for the Super Eagles in Sunday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying playoff clash against DR Congo.

This was revealed by the team’s media officer Promise Efoghe in a post on the Super Eagles X handle on Saturday.

There were reports that Ndidi will miss the playoffs final with DR Congo after he received a yellow card early in the clash with Gabon.

But according to Efoghe, CAF has given the green light for Ndidi to feature against the Leopards, because cautions accumulated during the World Cup qualifiers do not carry over into the playoffs; only confirmed suspensions apply.
