The National President of Football Fans Club of Nigeria, (FFCN), Oluwakemi Ogunfuwa, has tagged the Super Eagles as favourites to qualify from Group C of the upcoming AFCON 2025 tournament.

“I sincerely wish to appreciate the NFF for doing a great job for all our national teams, particularly the Super Eagles.
“I think the 2025 AFCON will be an icing on the cake that would crown their efforts. Our President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau led NFF is working very hard to make Nigerians smile in Morocco.
“The present crop of players in the Super Eagles are not match with the group C teams like Tanzania, Tunisia and Uganda, “she said.
Ogunfuwa added that though the group appears tricky, other teams should not be taken for granted.
“Though, there are no longer minnows in African football, yet national teams such as Tanzania and Uganda should not be seen as pushovers for the Eagles.
“Early preparations are key to the success of the team, I am confident that the technical team led by Eric Chelle will write his name in gold for Nigeria and lift the fourth AFCON title,” she said.
