Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) General Secretary, has stated, the Super Eagles have what it takes to deliver Nigeria’s fourth Africa Cup of Nations title in Egypt.

He said: “I am very optimistic that Super Eagles will win the AFCON trophy come July this year. The only way to appease for missing two consecutive Nations Cup is the emerge champions in Egypt, and insha Allah, they will deliver."

“We have the players and a very sound technical crew capable of going all the way in Egypt. It is going to be very tough, but I have confidence in the ability of the Super Eagles to excel in Egypt. We shall be ready to face the best of Africa and conquer.”
