Super Eagles forward Akor Adams has promised to give his all as Nigeria prepares for the crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup playoff next month in Morocco, where the team will battle for a spot at the global tournament.
The Sevilla striker, who recently earned his first senior national team call-up, expressed his excitement and determination to make an impact, insisting that the only focus now is on qualifying for the World Cup.

“It’s an honour to be part of this team at such an important time,” Adams said. “Everyone knows what’s at stake. We’re focused, united, and ready to give everything to secure qualification.”
Nigeria qualified for the playoffs after a tense qualifying campaign, and head coach Eric Chelle is now fine-tuning his squad ahead of what promises to be a fierce encounter in Morocco.
Adams, known for his pace and physical presence, is expected to add firepower to the attack, easing the pressure on star striker Victor Osimhen.
“We have to play for one another,” Adams continued. “Whether I start or come off the bench, my job is to help the team win. It’s not about individuals — it’s about Nigeria.”
The 24-year-old forward has been in impressive form for Sevilla this season, scoring key goals in La Liga and earning praise for his work rate and aerial dominance.
His rise has been rapid, and many analysts believe he could become a key figure for the Super Eagles in the coming years.
“Akor has shown great maturity and hunger,” a team insider said. “He’s eager to learn and ready to prove himself on the biggest stage.”
With Nigeria’s playoff tie set for early November in Morocco, Adams and his teammates know that every minute counts — and the dream of a World Cup return rests squarely on their shoulders.
