Oliseh defends AFCON commentary as fans disagree

Former Super Eagles captain and ex-head coach Sunday Oliseh has reacted to mixed reactions trailing his colour commentary during Nigeria’s 2–1 AFCON win over Tanzania. While the result gave Nigeria a positive start to the tournament, his analysis became a major talking point on social media.​ Some fans praised Oliseh for his blunt and detailed assessment of the Super Eagles’ performance. Others, however, accused him of being too harsh and suggested his comments showed a lack of support for the team despite the victory.​ Responding in an official statement, Oliseh said he was disappointed by the negative narrative being pushed online. He explained that his remarks were driven by professionalism and a strong desire to see Nigerian football grow, not by hostility toward the players or head coach Eric Chelle.​ Oliseh insisted that objective analysis should not be mistaken for […]

Chelle urges Super Eagles to improve after Tanzania win

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has urged his players to raise their level despite Nigeria starting AFCON 2025 with a 2–1 win over Tanzania in Group C. The match at the Complexe Sportif de Fès saw Nigeria take the lead, surrender it early in the second half and then quickly restore their advantage.​ Semi Ajayi opened the scoring for Nigeria in the 36th minute, heading home from an Alex Iwobi delivery after sustained pressure. Tanzania hit back shortly after the restart through Charles M’Mombwa, but Ademola Lookman responded almost immediately with a low strike from the edge of the box to seal the victory.​ Speaking after the game, Chelle said the most important thing at AFCON is to improve with every match. He praised the team’s first half performance and chance creation but admitted they made avoidable errors that […]

AFCON 2025 Super Eagles chase redemption in Morocco​

The Super Eagles head to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco caught between harsh recent realities and a powerful desire for redemption. Back to back World Cup qualification failures, administrative problems and questions over preparation have lowered expectations, even as Nigeria still boasts one of Africa’s most gifted squads.​ Nigeria’s AFCON record remains imposing, with three titles, seven final appearances and a long history of producing elite talent. AFCON 2025 is seen as a chance to reset the country’s football story and restore belief after years of frustration.​ Former captain John Obi Mikel has strongly criticised Nigeria’s build up, describing reports of unpaid wages to head coach Eric Chelle as unacceptable and embarrassing. He warned that public disputes over salaries damage trust and affect coaches, players and fans, even as he urged the team to rise above the […]

AFCON 2025 Babangida Ikpeba back Super Eagles to restore pride

Atlanta 1996 Olympic gold medallists Tijani Babangida and Victor Ikpeba say the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco is a crucial chance for the Super Eagles to repair Nigeria’s football image after failing to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They noted that missing the World Cup for a second straight time still hurts players, officials and fans, making AFCON the key opportunity to restore national pride.​ Babangida told Tribalfootball he was disappointed with the Super Eagles’ display in the playoff defeat to DR Congo, saying the Congolese looked better organised and more determined on the day. He believes winning AFCON would help heal the emotional wounds of supporters who were left devastated by that loss.​ He is confident Nigeria can reach the final and possibly end their 12 year wait for a fourth continental crown. However, he […]

Chippa United worried over Nwabali’s fitness for AFCON

Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is a major doubt for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco after fresh concerns over his fitness. Chippa United head coach Vusimuzi Vilakazi revealed that the 28 year old is nursing both an ankle problem and a more serious hand injury that may require surgery.​ Vilakazi said the injuries were made worse during Nwabali’s recent outing with the Super Eagles. He warned that the keeper “could miss out” on the tournament, describing his availability as a huge doubt for Nigeria.​ Nwabali has not played for Chippa United since Nigeria’s AFCON playoff defeat to DR Congo on penalties last month. His continued absence from club duty and medical reports pointing to a possible operation have increased fears that he will not be ready before the competition kicks off in Rabat on December […]

Troost Ekong explains decision to retire from Super Eagles

Former Super Eagles captain William Troost Ekong has explained why he chose to retire from international football ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.​ The 32 year old centre back officially ended almost a decade of service to Nigeria on Thursday, even though he was named in coach Eric Chelle’s provisional squad for next year’s AFCON.​ Troost Ekong said he felt it was the right moment to step aside and allow a younger generation of defenders to take over, noting that the team already has strong leaders who are ready to carry the mantle.​ He described his decision as part of a natural progression, adding that there is “an art in knowing when to step away”, even if part of him would have loved to lift the AFCON trophy and play at one more World Cup.​ The […]

Benjamin Fredrick ruled out of AFCON 2025

Super Eagles defender Benjamin Fredrick has been ruled out of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after suffering a knee injury during a training session with his club. The setback is a major blow for Nigeria, as the youngster was one of the standout performers in the country’s unsuccessful bid to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.​ Fredrick, who is on the books of English club Brentford, is currently on loan at Belgian side Dender FC for the 2025–26 season to gain first-team experience. He has been a regular under Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle since making his debut against Jamaica at the Unity Cup earlier this year.​ Such has been his impact that he displaced team captain William Troost-Ekong from the starting lineup during the last round of World Cup qualifiers. The 20-year-old centre-back was widely expected to be […]

CAF 2026 Playoffs: Super Eagles Must Fight Till the End – Okpala

Former Super Eagles midfielder and assistant coach, Sylvanus Okpala, has called on Nigeria’s national football team to approach the CAF 2026 World Cup playoffs with total determination, saying the journey may be tough but is far from impossible. Okpala, who won the 1980 AFCON as a player and the 2013 AFCON as assistant coach to the late Stephen Keshi, said in a chat with Sports Vanguard that he has always believed in fighting until the last minute, even when others lose hope. “Before the match against Benin Republic, many had written us off,” he said. “But my philosophy, as both a player and a coach, is never to give up until there is nothing left to fight for. Even during the 1980 AFCON camp, I was among many players fighting for a spot, and I gave everything until the end. […]
