Despite the Super Eagles securing an easy qualification for the 2023 AFCON with a game in hand, concerns have arisen following two consecutive draws in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against underdog teams Lesotho and Zimbabwe. Many Nigerian supporters are now skeptical about the star-studded Super Eagles’ ability to perform well against formidable opponents in the upcoming Ivory Coast tournament.
As Nigeria heads into the AFCON, they find themselves in Group A, alongside host Ivory Coast. While the team previously triumphed over Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals a decade ago in South Africa, doubts linger about their current form. Frank Onyeka of Brentford, calling for increased support, emphasized the need for mental readiness among his teammates to make the nation proud.
Acknowledging the frustration among fans, Onyeka urged supporters to rally behind the team despite recent setbacks. Reflecting on the draws, he highlighted the challenges of facing African teams and stressed the importance of mental and physical preparation for the AFCON. Onyeka expressed confidence in the team’s ability to secure victory in the tournament. #SuperEagles #AFCON2023 #FrankOnyeka”
