At the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong says the team hopes to win a fourth championship. The final of the most prestigious football championship in Africa saw Nigeria lose 2-1 to the hosts, Cote d’Ivoire. The team led by Éric Chelle will be one of the favorites to win the championship going into Morocco in 2025Troost-Ekong thinks the team will benefit from the experience they gained in Cote d’Ivoire 2025. That is the sole objective. The previous AFCON final taught us a lot. In retrospect, Côte d’Ivoire was the superior squad that day, but we learned from it—some of our players played in their country’s first big final,” Troost-Ekong told The goal now is to return, apply that knowledge, go to the later phases, and, ideally, know how to proceed all the way. The Super Eagles are paired with Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda in Group C.
