Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has said his team have the ambition of winning the title at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria have won the AFCON title three times in the past.
The West Africans lost 2-1 to hosts Cote d’Ivoire in the final of the last edition.
Chelle said their ambition is to conquer the continent in Morocco.
“Of course we want to win it. Personally, I want to win AFCON. My last — and first — AFCON was a fantastic experience. I think Morocco will be a great tournament, too. The players feel the same. Since March we’ve played every match under pressure,”Chelle was quoted by CAFonline.
“When we set foot in Morocco, that pressure will be familiar. We’ll be ready mentally and in our collective mindset. If we arrive on the back of play-off success, stopping us will be difficult.
” But there are big teams: Morocco are favourites, Tunisia, Côte d’Ivoire… nations in top form. Our strength is that the players have suffered, then found a way through. That can really hurt opponents.”
