Ogenyi Onazi has tipped the Super Eagles to win a fourth title at the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, Prompt News reports.
There are doubts over the Super Eagles chances of making a positive impact at the competition following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Onazi, a member of the Super Eagles side that won the AFCON title in South Africa 2013 however believed the team can return home with the trophy.
“Just like our team in 2013, we had many new players who made people not believe in us, We knew we had a huge task in front of us, and we decided to give it our best. We were able to lift the title. I expect the same from this set of players.” the former Lazio star told Footy Africa.
“Forget about what anyone thinks and go hard, real hard, to try and win the title. Once you wear that jersey, it does not matter when you play. What matters is your heart.
Onazi further charged the players to give their all on the pitch.
“Give your all to the team and remember that you are representing the whole of Nigeria. More than 200 million people are looking up to you. Just do your best and leave everything on the pitch,” he added.
