Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has expressed the team’s determination to secure a fourth Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title in 2025.
Nigeria was drawn into Group C alongside Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania during the competition’s draw in Rabat on Monday night.
Troost-Ekong emphasized the importance of respecting their group opponents while maintaining confidence in the Super Eagles’ quality.
“AFCON 2025 draw is now over, and it’s very exciting to see the groups. Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania—three teams that need to be respected,” Troost-Ekong told Super Eagles media.
“I think we have the experience now on how to handle situations like this. There are no easy games in Africa, and that’s common knowledge.
“However, I believe we have what it takes to come out of this group and go all the way. We learned so much last year from the AFCON in Abidjan.
“This time, we will be more prepared and work hard throughout the year to ensure everyone is fit and ready.
“We’re looking forward to playing under the new coach. It’s an exciting year ahead, and I’m very happy with the AFCON draw.”
