Francis Uzoho's Potential Departure from Nigeria Super Eagles


Francis Uzoho, the accomplished Nigerian goalkeeper for the national team, may be on the verge of leaving the Super Eagles, as he recently deactivated his social media account on X.com, formerly known as Twitter. This decision comes in the aftermath of Nigeria's disappointing performance in the FIFA World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe, where they secured a draw. The lackluster results have left fans disheartened, questioning the team's chances in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

The deactivation of Uzoho's 'Uzohof' account has stirred speculation about the intense scrutiny and pressure faced by footballers in Nigeria. The goalkeeper faced criticism for his role in the team's earlier defeat to Ghana and for conceding what some deemed as "cheap goals" in recent international friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique. With fans expressing disappointment and dissatisfaction, there are growing concerns that Uzoho may soon part ways with the Super Eagles, adding another layer of uncertainty to the team's future.

The disappointing outcomes have fueled calls from fans for the head coach, Jose Peseiro, to consider alternatives for the position of Super Eagles' number one goalkeeper. Despite the challenges, Francis Uzoho remains a prominent figure in Nigerian football. Playing for Cypriot First Division club Omonia, Uzoho has had a remarkable career since making his international debut in 2017. His journey includes being part of the squad that secured victory in the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup and serving as Nigeria's primary goalkeeper in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The unfolding drama around his potential departure adds a new chapter to his football narrative.
