The Nigeria 2002 World Cup squad in Japan/Korea were – and still are – incomparable to the squad at USA ’94 and France ’98 squad. You know the saddest part, they scored just ONE goal in that competition! To cut my long story short, that particular Super Eagles team failed woefully, losing two matches and drawing one against England who didn’t need to win to move on the to the next stage. The politics that engulfed the team was so much that some players like Sunday Oliseh and Finidi George were dropped from the Nigeria 2002 World Cup squad. But who were the footballer who featured in the Nigeria 2002 World Cup squad?Īmodu and Keshi were brought in for a rescue mission after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, sacked Bonfrere Jo.īut after the 2002 Nations Cup in Mali where the Super Eagles lost to Senegal in the semifinal, the pair were sacked few months to the World Cup and Adegboye Onigbinde was called upon. Two different indigenous coaches – Amodu Shuaibu and Stephen Keshi – qualified Nigeria for the Japan/Korea 2002 World Cup. Thus, 25 of the world's top 20 teams did not qualify for the 2002 Cup, a serious omission of some.
