Austin Eguavoen, the Super Eagles’ interim manager, says the team has all it takes to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which is scheduled to be held in Morocco.
Nigeria, the 2023 AFCON finalist, is in Group D alongside Benin Republic, Rwanda, and Libya.
Eguavoen spoke with NFF TV ahead of Saturday’s 2025 AFCON qualifying match against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic in Uyo. He said he was optimistic that the Super Eagles would prevail.
“Nigeria is a nation, in terms of football, a lot of countries respect it, and the 2025 AFCON qualifier is no different.
“I am very confident that we will scale through these two games and beyond.
“We have the materials, players, personnel and support. We have everything,” he said.
He said that the players needed to be reminded of their achievement at the last AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire, where they finished runners-up in the tournament.
