Ahead of the crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Zimbabwe, the General Overseer of Miraculous Deliverance Gospel Mission, Rev. Dom Daniel Anyanwu, has predicted a resounding victory for the Nigerian side.
Speaking ahead of the match scheduled to take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, the Imo-based cleric expressed confidence in the team’s ability to secure maximum points.
“I am expecting nothing less than a win. I believe the Super Eagles will beat Zimbabwe 3-0,” he declared.
Heartland FC’s Struggles Not Spiritual
Rev. Anyanwu also weighed in on the ongoing challenges facing Heartland FC in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season. According to him, some of the players lack the necessary fitness and quality to represent the club at the highest level.
“The issue with Heartland FC is that the team needs some adjustments. There are players who, in my opinion, should be removed,” he stated.
Dismissing any notion that the club’s struggles are spiritual, he emphasized the importance of hard work and discipline.
“It’s not all about spirituality. I believe that when someone works hard and backs it up with prayers, the supernatural will take control. The coach is doing a great job, but some of the players are too sluggish,” he added.
Youth Development Through Football
Beyond football predictions, Rev. Anyanwu, who also owns Dom Daniel FC, shared his vision of using football to transform society. His club, he explained, was established to keep young people off the streets and steer them away from crime.
“I want to help the youths by taking them off the streets, which will aid their development. Issues like kidnapping, robbery, and other forms of criminality can be reduced when young people are engaged positively. My goal is to ensure they have opportunities to develop their talents and contribute to making society a better place,” he said.
As the Super Eagles prepare for their showdown against Zimbabwe, fans will be eager to see if the cleric’s bold prediction comes to pass.
