, their journey was cut short in the knockout stage by Tunisia.
New Coach Jose Pasiero’s Arrival

The last triumph was achieved in 2013 under the leadership of the late coach Stephen Keshi in South Africa.
Optimism Surrounding the 2023 AFCON
In a significant development, the Super Eagles effortlessly qualified for the 2023 AFCON without convoluted qualification processes.

Eguavoen’s Call for Support
During an interview with Brila FM, Austin Eguavoen emphasized Nigeria’s potential to claim victory in the 2023 AFCON.
He urged all stakeholders to rally behind the team as they prepare for the competition. Eguavoen remarked, “We have been craving to try to get the Nations Cup back, since 2013 we’ve not been able to achieve that feat because we know we have the capacity, we have the quality and everything to be able to win it.
But to say it is easy to achieve it is another thing, so everybody has to work towards the same goal, support the team whichever way we can, support the coaches, and the players have to go out there and do the job.”
