Super Eagles interim coach Augustine Eguavoen has provided a roadmap for Nigeria to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The upcoming double-header against Libya will be crucial in their quest for a spot in Morocco.
Six Points Concerning the Key to Qualification
Eguavoen emphasized that winning both matches against Libya is essential.
The interim manager admitted speaking to TheNFF.com. “Our best and surest route to the finals will be to pick up the six points in the matches with Libya and be somewhat guaranteed of a place in Morocco even before Matchday 5. We don’t want to be in any anxiety in the run-in during this qualifying campaign.”
By accumulating maximum points, the Nigerian team would be able to confirm their qualification before the other groups; hence, relieve pressure and make a rush for the slot.
Confidence Despite Osimhen’s Absence
Although star striker Victor Osimhen will miss the games, as revealed earlier by Sportsbuddy, Eguavoen remains confident. “I believe in the other strikers available to get us the goals that will give us the three points in Uyo and the three points in Libya.”
His belief in the squad’s depth reflects his optimism as the Super Eagles prepare for the crucial fixtures.
