Former Super Eagles captain and coach, Sunday Oliseh, has named another African national team as the most tactical on the continent, leaving Nigeria out of his top choice. Oliseh described the unnamed team as “very solid” and praised their structure, discipline, and game intelligence, saying they show a deeper understanding of modern football tactics.

Speaking during a football analysis segment, Oliseh explained that being tactical is not just about possession or flair but about how well a team reads the game, adapts to different opponents, and maintains shape under pressure. According to him, the team he selected has consistently shown maturity in their buildup play, pressing system, and defensive organisation.

His comments have sparked reactions among Nigerian football fans, especially as the Super Eagles continue their campaign in the Africa Cup of Nations. Some fans felt Oliseh was being too harsh on Nigeria, while others agreed that certain teams on the continent currently look more balanced tactically than the Super Eagles.

Oliseh’s assessment has added a fresh angle to discussions around AFCON performances, highlighting that success in the tournament is not only about star players but also about teamwork, planning, and technical execution. As the competition progresses, fans will be watching closely to see which team’s tactical discipline truly stands out.
