The Super Eagles are gearing up for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, and captain William Troost-Ekong is sounding the alarm. In a recent interview, Troost-Ekong emphasized that their Group C opponents – Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania – will provide a significant challenge.
Troost-Ekong highlighted the strength of their opponents, citing Tunisia’s impressive performance in World Cup qualifying and their defensive solidity. He also noted that Uganda and Tanzania will bring energy and unpredictability to the group stage.
The Super Eagles captain pushed back against the notion that Nigeria is the clear frontrunner to win the tournament. He emphasized that Morocco’s home advantage, Côte d’Ivoire’s status as defending champions, and Senegal’s strong team make them all contenders.
Troost-Ekong stressed the unpredictable nature of the tournament, citing Nigeria’s unexpected run in the previous edition. He emphasized the importance of trusting the team and not getting complacent, as strong teams can emerge from unexpected places.
The Super Eagles will face a tough group stage, but with a strong squad and a winning mentality, they’re determined to top their group and advance deep into the knockout stages. Will they succeed? Only time will tell .
