Nigeria’s Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has confirmed that their goal for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is to win their fourth title in the upcoming tournament in Morocco.
After losing to Côte d’Ivoire in the previous final, Nigeria is looking to bounce back, leveraging the experience gained from that tournament. They’re considered strong contenders for the Morocco 2025 title.
Ekong expressed belief that their previous experience in the last Afcon will trigger and motivate them for the coming tournament in Morocco to be more prepared and clinch the cup.
“That’s the only goal. We learned so much from the last AFCON final. Looking back, Côte d’Ivoire were the better team on the day, but we gained experience—some of our players were in their first major final for their nation,” Troost-Ekong told CAFonline.
“Now the target is to get there again, use that experience, reach the latter stages and know what to do to go all the way, hopefully.”
The Super Eagles are drawn in Group C with Uganda, Tunisia and Tanzania.
