The Super Eagles, Nigeria’s national football team, are determined to secure their place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). As they gear up for the qualifying rounds, midfielder Alex Iwobi has expressed the team’s strong commitment to proving their quality on the pitch.

The Super Eagles will kick off their AFCON 2025 qualification campaign with a crucial match against the Benin Republic on September 7th. The game is set to take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. Following this, the team will travel to Kigali to face Rwanda in another important fixture just three days later.

The Nigerian squad has had a mix of results in recent matches, with only one win in their last four games, including their final clash with hosts Côte d’Ivoire in the 2023 AFCON. However, Iwobi is confident that the team is ready to rise to the occasion. He highlighted the importance of consistency and the need to meet the high expectations of both the fans and the players themselves.

“There’s still a lot to fight for; we have much to prove. We know the quality we have in this team, and we need to show it consistently for Nigeria, just like we do for our club sides,” Iwobi stated in a video posted on the Super Eagles’ X (formerly Twitter) account.

The Super Eagles understand the significance of these upcoming matches and are prepared to give their best effort to ensure qualification. With the support of their fans and the determination within the squad, they are focused on achieving their goal of securing a spot in the 2025 AFCON tournament.

As the team prepares to take on Benin and Rwanda, all eyes will be on the Super Eagles to see if they can deliver the performances needed to advance in the competition. The journey to AFCON 2025 has begun, and the Super Eagles are ready for the challenge.
