While a few stakeholders, including former Cameroon defender, Jule Onana, have opted to offer rather diplomatic predictions about the tournament, others have made their predictions clear and, in some cases, bold.
The latest to air his take is Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi. The Fulham star, in a recent interview, detailed why the Super Eagles will win the showpiece in Morocco.
Alex Iwobi speaks on Nigerian winning the AFCON
In an interview on the Is This Seat Taken show, the 28-year-old midfielder shared that the Super Eagles are fully focused on winning the upcoming AFCON tournament.
"We want to win the AFCON. We were so close in the last one, and I want to win the next one," he said.
Boasting both a bronze and silver medal from previous AFCON editions, Iwobi also reflected on his favourite moment from the 2023 tournament.
"My favourite moment from AFCON 2023 was beating South Africa on penalties. Our goalkeeper [Nwabali]—that’s my guy. We’re one big family. We don’t believe in big egos, and we’re all as good as each other. Of course, we’ve got players nominated for Africa’s best, but we’re focused on being Africa’s best team. That’s how we see it," the former Everton star explained.
The Super Eagles have drawn a challenging group, facing Tunisia, Tanzania, and Uganda, a team they've often struggled against. Whether coach Chelle and his squad can bring the title back to Nigeria for the first time since 2013 remains to be seen.
