Ugandan Striker Warns Super Eagles Ahead of AFCON 2025 Tournament

Ugandan striker Melvyn Lorenzen has warned Eric Chelle's Super Eagles and other teams ahead of the AFCON 2025 tournament, stating that Uganda will not be an easy opponent. Despite being considered underdogs in Group C against Nigeria, Tanzania, and Tunisia, Lorenzen believes Uganda can make a strong statement based on their pedigree.

The 31-year-old Werder Bremen star, who recently made his national team debut, expressed confidence in Uganda's ability to challenge big teams despite being labeled as minnows in African football. Former Nigerian international Eric Chelle has raised doubts about Nigeria's player selection process for the tournament, suggesting that it may impact their performance.
