Winger, Moses Simon is desperate to play at the FIFA World Cup after missing out on 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Simon has never played at the World Cup despite his current status as one of the senior players in the Super Eagles.

He was a key member of Nigeria’s squad that qualified for the 2018 tournament, only to left out due to injury.

The 2022 was a different story as the Super Eagles failed to qualify after losing playoff to Ghana.

“In 2018, at first, I felt really sad. I played all the qualification games, I started and I finished [the matches]. But in the end, I didn’t go to the World Cup,” Simon told FIFA.com.

“It’s something I would not wish on my worst enemy. I was really devastated. But not any more. Now, I just think: ‘OK, I thank God for everything because I know that it’s for a reason.”

Starting off their campaign to a rather sore note, the team filed to win any of their opening two games.

Nigeria held Lesotho and Zimbabwe to draws and currently languish in third position on the table.

Simon said, he’ll give his best to help them qualify for the tournament scheduled to hold in United States, Mexico and Canada.​

“It [not going to the 2018 World Cup and or qualifying for Qatar 2022] motivated me to keep working hard. I want to play in the next World Cup, it’s a dream. I just need to do my best, push and work hard. If the coach calls me, good. If he doesn’t and calls up someone else, I will be happy to support them,” He concluded.
