Troost-Ekong Confident Super Eagles Will Qualify for AFCON 2027

William Troost-Ekong, a former captain of the Super Eagles, expressed confidence in the team's ability to secure a spot in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2027. The Super Eagles have been drawn into Group L for the qualifiers, which includes Madagascar, co-host Tanzania, and Guinea-Bissau.

Troost-Ekong remarked that while these three countries may be considered minnows, he believes the Super Eagles will successfully navigate the challenges presented by the group. He emphasized the importance of the upcoming matches, particularly the opening qualifier against Madagascar, scheduled to take place at home in September.

The Super Eagles finished third in the last AFCON held in Morocco, and Troost-Ekong's statements reflect a strong belief in the team's potential to perform well in the upcoming qualifiers.
