The race for the 2026 World Cup is drawing to a close. Here's how it's looking around the globe.

Nigeria, thanks in large part to Victor Osimhen, shook off the chaos in their camp to soar past Gabon in extra time and claim a place in the Final of the CAF 2026 FIFA World Cup Playoffs on Sunday.

Star striker Victor Osimhen told ESPN that he immediately said sorry to his Super Eagles teammates after a shocking, for him, miss against Gabon in FIFA World Cupo qualifying on Thursday in Morocco.
