The Super Eagles can’t afford to underrate any of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations group opponents, according captain William Troost-Ekong.
Éric Chelle’s side are drawn in Group C with Uganda, Tunisia, and Tanzania.
The Carthage Eagles of Tunisia on paper are expected to be the only tough opposition for Nigeria in the group.
Troost-Ekong has however warned they can’t afford to underrate Uganda and Tunisia.
“Difficult. Tunisia knocked us out in the 2021 round of 16 and beat many in World Cup qualifying without conceding,” Troost-Ekong told CAFonline.
” They’re high in confidence. Tanzania and Uganda are also tough—we’ve faced them in several qualifiers. There’s no “cruise” at AFCON. We want top spot to help the next round, but no one in our camp thinks this group is easy.”
