AFCON: It won’t be easy – Osimhen reveals advantage Morocco has over Nigeria

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has admitted that Nigeria’s clash with Morocco at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will not be easy. The Napoli forward said Morocco have a clear advantage because they are playing on home soil and enjoy strong support from their fans throughout the tournament.

Osimhen explained that home support can make a big difference in football, especially in tense knockout matches. He said Moroccan fans create a loud and intimidating atmosphere that pushes their team forward and makes visiting teams uncomfortable.

Despite this, Osimhen said the Super Eagles are well prepared and focused on the task ahead. He added that Nigeria has experienced players who have played in difficult environments before and know how to handle pressure. According to him, the team respects Morocco but does not fear them.

Osimhen concluded by saying the match would be decided by discipline, teamwork and taking chances when they come. He urged fans to continue supporting the Super Eagles and expressed confidence that Nigeria can overcome the challenge and reach the next stage of the competition.
