Will Nigeria’s Super Eagles triumph against Morocco’s Atlas Lions on Wednesday, similar to the 1980 encounter?
The former Real Madrid player returned to the club as head coach in May 2025.
CAF said it has referred the incidents from both matches to its disciplinary board after gathering match reports and video evidence.
Festus Ojo, an Ogun-based supporter, expressed delight in local parlance, saying, “Na we get the cup.”
“Our focus is on ensuring he recovers fully and is available for the remainder of the tournament,” said Efoghe.
Mr Turaki expressed optimism that the Super Eagles would lift the AFCON trophy.
The ministry stressed that the players continue to show themselves as true ambassadors of Nigeria with their conduct and performance on the pitch.
Nigeria limited Algeria to only three shots, all which were off target, throughout the game.
The Algerian coach noted that his side lacked several elements required to compete at that level.
According to him, Nigeria’s selection was based on proven capacity.
