Super Eagles: Chelle challenged to continue Nigeria’s renaissance post AFCON

Despite Nigeria’s painful semi final exit at AFCON 2025, stakeholders have challenged Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle to build on the team’s renewed identity and fighting spirit rather than allow the setback to derail recent progress. Many fans and analysts believe the squad’s high‑intensity displays, tactical organisation and improved mentality signal the beginning of a new era for Nigerian football.​ Chelle, appointed in January 2025 on a two‑year deal, has already expressed his desire to stay on, stressing that his long‑term project is to rebuild the Super Eagles into a consistent force in Africa and beyond. However, he admitted that his future rests with the Nigeria Football Federation, which must now decide whether to retain him and consolidate on the gains of the tournament.​ Supporters are urging continuity in technical leadership, better youth development and sustained integration of talented […]

Nigeria’s Depth Shines in Convincing Win Over Uganda

Nigeria delivered a strong message to their Africa Cup of Nations rivals with a confident 3–1 victory over Uganda, achieved with a heavily rotated squad. Head coach Eric Sékou Chelle will take particular satisfaction from the display, as it underlined the Super Eagles’ depth and attacking strength even without several regular starters. Midfielder Raphael Onyedika was the standout performer, producing a composed and commanding display capped by two well-taken goals. His influence in the centre of the pitch controlled the tempo and limited Uganda’s ability to build sustained attacks. Paul Onuachu also impressed, scoring Nigeria’s third goal and entering the history books as the 70th Nigerian player to score at the Africa Cup of Nations — more than any other nation has produced. Despite their dominance, Nigeria again showed a familiar weakness late on. With the game already won, they […]

NFF agrees $30,000 Super Eagles bonus for AFCON 2025 Round of 16

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has agreed to pay Super Eagles players $30,000 each for reaching the Round of 16 at AFCON Morocco 2025, doubling their initial $15,000 offer after the team's rejection. Bonuses for later rounds have also been settled with the players.​ The team has earned an additional $25,000 in goals bonuses, with $5,000 per goal across their five strikes in two matches, making them the tournament's top scorers so far. Under coach Eric Chelle, Nigeria shows attacking flair unlike the defensive style under Jose Peseiro at AFCON 2023, though they've conceded three goals without a clean sheet by Stanley Nwabali.​ This motivation comes as Super Eagles prepare for their final Group C match against Uganda after wins over Tanzania (2-1) and Tunisia (3-2).​

Emenike, Omeruo criticize Super Eagles defense, tactics at AFCON 2025

Former Nigeria stars Emmanuel Emenike and Kenneth Omeruo, both 2013 AFCON winners, highlighted defensive leaks and tactical issues in Super Eagles' campaign after conceding three goals in two group matches. Nigeria beat Tanzania 2-1 despite a lapse allowing Charles M’Mombwa's equalizer before Ademola Lookman's winner, then survived Tunisia's late comeback in a 3-2 victory with goals from Victor Osimhen, Wilfred Ndidi, and Lookman.​ Omeruo called the defense porous and urged coach Eric Sekou Chelle to fix it ahead of the Uganda clash tomorrow in Fes. He acknowledged the attack's strength but stressed stopping concessions is critical.​ Emenike demanded a clear game plan to maximize talents like Osimhen and Chukwueze, citing Tanzania's strategy exploiting Zaidu Sanusi. He praised Chelle but noted the team lacks defined roles compared to opponents.​

Chelle hints at tactical tweaks to Nigeria’s starting XI against Tunisia

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has suggested he may adjust Nigeria’s tactics and starting XI for Saturday night’s Africa Cup of Nations clash with Tunisia in Fez, Morocco. The Malian coach said he is weighing two different approaches for the high stakes Group C fixture at the Fez Stadium.​ Speaking at his pre match press conference on Friday, Chelle explained that he is considering a shift away from his usual possession based style. He said one option is to allow Tunisia more of the ball and then attack quickly in transition when Nigeria wins possession.​ Chelle added that his other option is to stick with the team’s current philosophy but make some tweaks to better handle Tunisia’s strengths. He declined to reveal his starting XI, saying fans would see his final selection when the game kicks off.​ Nigeria go […]

Ndidi: Super Eagles motivated by painful 2021 AFCON loss to Tunisia

Nigeria captain Wilfred Ndidi says the Super Eagles will use the memory of their shock defeat to Tunisia at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations as motivation when the two sides meet again in the group stage on Friday. Five years ago, Nigeria entered the round-of-16 clash as overwhelming favourites after a flawless group campaign that included a win over seven-time champions Egypt. Tunisia, by contrast, scraped through as one of the best third-placed teams. However, the Carthage Eagles stunned Nigeria with a 1-0 victory, capitalising on a defensive error and a red card shown to Alex Iwobi. Speaking ahead of Friday’s encounter, Ndidi described the defeat as a painful moment but insisted the current squad is focused on the present. “It was a painful loss in 2021,” Ndidi said at the pre-match press conference. “The guys were really prepared […]
