Chelle Predicts Portugal as 2026 World Cup Favorites

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle says Portugal has all it takes to become 2026 World Cup champions. He praised their defence, pace in full-backs and the quality of stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva. Chelle highlighted Portugal’s high press and quick transitions. He watched them beat Chile and was impressed by their depth and speed in every department. Ahead of Nigeria’s friendly in Leiria, Chelle insists the match isn’t about revenge for the 4-0 loss in 2022. His focus is on improving his side’s performance and mindset against a top-ranked opponent.
