SportSuper Eagles hungrier for AFCON glory – Troost-Ekong

Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong says the team wants to win a fourth title at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

Nigeria lost 2-1 to hosts Cote d’Ivoire in the final of the last edition of Africa’s biggest football competition.

Éric Chelle’s side will head into Morocco 2025 among the favourites to win the title.

Troost-Ekong believes the experience garnered in Cote d’Ivoire 2025 will help the team this time around.

“That’s the only goal. We learned so much from the last AFCON final. Looking back, Côte d’Ivoire were the better team on the day, but we gained experience—some of our players were in a first major final for their nation,” Troost-Ekong told CAFonline.

” Now the target is to get there again, use that experience, reach the latter stages and know what to do to go all the way, hopefully.”

The Super Eagles are drawn in Group C with Uganda, Tunisia, and Tanzania
