AFCON 2025 qualifier: Go for victory, sports minister charges Super Eagles

By Daily Sports Nigeria on October 10, 2024

The Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Enoh, has urged the Nigerian Super Eagles to gun for victory against Libya.

In a statement released by his spokesperson, Diana-Mary Nsan, on Thursday, Enoh also warned of complacency against the Mediterranean Knights, ahead of both teams’ clash in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Friday.

“Your solid start in the qualifiers has put you in a favourable position to secure a place in the 2025 AFCON tournament.

“Nonetheless, you must guard your place, as the Mediterranean Knights will aim to defy expectations, seeking at least a draw in Uyo. Never undermine your opponents.

“The nation will be rooting for you; make us proud, and good luck,” Enoh said.

PUNCH Online had reported that Super Eagles Head Coach, Augustine Eguavoen, is targeting a maximum of six points from the double header fixtures.

“There are possibilities and opportunities for us to sail home at the end of these two matches, and we will do our best to take our chances and have the ticket,” Eguavoen said.

So far, Nigeria has four points from their two matches, one point ahead of Benin Republic and two ahead of Rwanda. The Eagles will go to 10 points with a double win over Libya.
