Oliseh backs Super Eagles to strike gold at  AFCON  2025

Despite low expectations among the fans, former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has backed Nigeria to shine at this year’s AFCON in Morocco.

The Super Eagles failed to qualify for a second straight World Cup and many do not give them a chance at Morocco 2025.

Oliseh has been critical about the game is administered in Nigeria, but he will back the Super Eagles to fly high in Morocco.

 “Contrary to what many may think, I am very optimistic about our chances at the AFCON,” he told The Observer. “To start with, the players have one goal in mind, which is the AFCON.

 “I find it unfair that a lot of people are beating down on these boys. At the end of the day, they are representing us…some support (from Nigerians) would help.”

Nigeria begin their campaign for a fourth AFCON crown Tuesday evening in Fes against Tanzania.
