​ The President of the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC), Engr. Habu Ahmed Gumel,  celebrates the Super Eagles over the Pharaohs of Egypt to claim the bronze medal at the AFCON tournament.

​After a gruelling semi-final, the team demonstrated immense faith and character to regroup and dominate the third-place match against the Pharaohs of Egypt.

A statement released by Tony Nezianya, the Public Relation Officer of the NOC, noted that this victory is a testament to the remarkable evolution of the squad under Coach Eric Chelle.

​In just one year, the team has undergone a complete transformation: ​from goal-shy to clinical; overcoming previous scoring struggles to become a formidable attacking force.

​Coach Chelle has been able to rebuild the team  into a disciplined, respectable side that commands authority on the pitch.

The Eagles are now national pride and are once more showing the “never-say-die” Nigerian spirit in the face of elite competition.

​The Super Eagles have once again proven they are a powerhouse of African football.

According to Gumel:“ I look forward to the continued evolvement of this exciting new era.”
