Tijani Babangida Warns Eric Chelle Ahead of 2025 Africa Cup of Nations

Former Super Eagles winger Tijani Babangida has cautioned head coach Eric Chelle against over-reliance on individual players like Victor Osimhen, highlighting the importance of building squad depth for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Babangida stressed the need for mental strength and team performance, recalling Nigeria's success in the past when the team was not solely dependent on one player.

The Super Eagles are set to face tough opponents in Group C, including Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania, with their first match scheduled for December 23. Chelle has been urged to instill a winning mentality and prepare the team adequately for the tournament.
