The Super Eagles’ captain, Ahmed Musa, has stated again that they want to win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
At the biennial tournament, the three-time winners are considered heavy favorites to repeat as champions.
As a member of the 2013 Super Eagles team that won the African Cup of Nations title in South Africa, Musa felt confident in his team’s ability to win in Côte d’Ivoire.
If you look at the 25-man roster and think we don’t have what it takes to win, you’d be wrong.
The way we’re thinking, we can win any football game, no matter what happens. The coach has made it clear that winning the AFCON is his top priority, and with God’s help, we will be victorious.
Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, and Equatorial Guinea will round out Group A, where Nigeria will play.
On Sunday, January 14, the Super Eagles will play their opening match against Equatorial Guinea’s Nzalang Nacional.
