Lookman Confident Super Eagles Will Win AFCON Qualifiers
Lookman, an Atletico Madrid forward, has conveyed strong confidence that the Super Eagles will earn all six points from their opening two fixtures in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. Nigeria is set to begin Group L action on September 25, hosting Madagascar's Barea at the Stadium, followed by a match against Guinea-Bissau on September 29.
Ahead of the Madrid derby, Lookman stated that the entire squad is prepared for the challenge. His role is particularly significant following the withdrawal of Victor Osimhen from the squad.
The stakes in Group L are heightened as Tanzania, a co-host, qualifies automatically, leaving only one qualification spot available for the remaining three teams. The Super Eagles cannot afford any mistakes if they aim to secure this spot.
The Eagles' camp officially opened on September 21, just four days before their first match against Madagascar.
