Ex-Nigeria Player Disagrees with Oliseh on Super Eagles' AFCON Bronze

Former Nigeria international, Sam Elijah, has expressed disagreement with former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh over Oliseh's remarks that Nigeria's bronze medal in the recent Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is not worth celebrating. Elijah argued that Eric Chell's Super Eagles team deserves recognition for their achievement.

Oliseh had suggested that the team should not celebrate winning the bronze medal, emphasizing the importance of playing good football over the medal. Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that the Super Eagles will not participate in the 2026 World Cup after losing to DR Congo in the playoffs.
