Mikel Obi Backs Super Eagles for 2025 AFCON Victory

Former Nigeria captain Mikel Obi has shown optimism in the Super Eagles' ability to clinch victory in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) following the announcement of the final squad by head coach Eric Chelle. The tournament will take place in Morocco, and Nigeria is determined to secure its fourth continent title.

Despite recent inconsistent performances, the team is looking to restore confidence after a disappointing end to the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. Notable players like Victor Osimhen are expected to lead Nigeria's strong challenge in the upcoming AFCON.
