Joseph Yobo, a former Nigeria international, stated that advancing beyond the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations is not an issue for the Super Eagles. His comments followed the AFCON 2025 draw held in Rabat, Morocco, where Nigeria was placed in Group C alongside past champions Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania. “Our team is quite strong, and the players are making progress,” said Yobo, who assisted in the AFCON 2025 draw. “This generation has some of the finest players, and they demonstrated that at the previous AFCON.” Analyzing the group, we realize it won’t be simple for us, but I’m confident that the Super Eagles will advance from the group without any issues. The captain who led his team to victory in AFCON 2013 expressed confidence that the Super Eagles could surpass their performance from the previous tournament in Cote d’Ivoire. He stated, “I hope we begin strongly and carry that momentum through to the final.” As we prepare for our final match at AFCON 2023, it’s time to reclaim the trophy. I’m confident that with our talented players and a fantastic new coach, we can achieve this goal. In Group A, the host nation Morocco will compete against Mali, Zambia, and Comoros. Group B includes Egypt, South Africa, Angola, and Zimbabwe. Group D features Senegal, DR Congo, Benin, and Botswana, while Group E contains Algeria, Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea, and Sudan. Defending champions Cote d’Ivoire will go up against Cameroon, Gabon, and Mozambique in Group F. Reported by James Agberebi. Do you have what it requires? Forecast and Earn Millions Instantly.
