Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has expressed the team’s strong desire to clinch a fourth Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title at the 2025 edition in Morocco.
Nigeria narrowly missed out on the trophy at the last tournament, falling 2-1 to hosts Cote d’Ivoire in the final.
As one of the top contenders for Morocco 2025, Troost-Ekong believes the lessons learned from their performance in the previous edition will be crucial to their success this time.
“That’s the only goal. We learned so much from the last AFCON final. Looking back, Côte d’Ivoire were the better team on the day, but we gained experience—some of our players were in a first major final for their nation,” Troost-Ekong told CAFonline.
” Now the target is to get there again, use that experience, reach the latter stages and know what to do to go all the way, hopefully.”
The Super Eagles are drawn in Group C with Uganda, Tunisia, and Tanzania.
