FIFA lists Nigeria, Italy, eight other nations eyeing return to 2030 World Cup

FIFA has announced that Nigeria, Italy, and eight other nations are among those seeking qualification for the 2030 World Cup, following their exclusion from the 2026 tournament. The list includes countries with historical World Cup participation such as Nigeria, Italy, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Cameroon, Chile, Peru, and Costa Rica. Nigeria, which has reached the Round of 16 in three of its six World Cup appearances, missed the 2026 qualifiers. FIFA emphasized that Nigeria's prospects for the 2030 tournament will hinge on stability and consistency rather than just talent. Italy, having failed to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time, is also vying for a return to the global stage.
