Adeboye Urges Super Eagles to Excel in AFCON Qualifiers
Prince Adeyinka Anthony Adeboye, the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Grassroots Sports Development, urged the Super Eagles to avoid a shaky start in their 2027 AFCON qualifiers. The team is set to face Madagascar on Friday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, followed by a match against Guinea-Bissau in Bissau.
Adeboye advised the team, led by Coach Eric Chelle, to approach the games with patriotism and seriousness to prevent a repeat of the mistakes that led to Nigeria's absence from the last World Cup. He highlighted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's efforts to improve the welfare of sportsmen and women, urging the players to reciprocate by performing well.
Adeboye noted that Madagascar, ranked 104 by FIFA, has improved and previously defeated Nigeria 2-0 in the 2019 AFCON group stage, emphasizing the need for the Super Eagles to be prepared for a challenging match.
