Victor Ikpeba, former African Footballer of the Year, has shared his thoughts on the Super Eagles’ draw for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The team finds itself in Group C, alongside Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania, a draw Ikpeba has described as “fair.”
In an interview with Super Sport, the ex-international highlighted the relative advantage of the draw compared to other groups but stressed the need for focus. “I prefer the Super Eagles’ group compared to some of the other first-round groups,” he said.
Ikpeba also emphasized that no team should be taken lightly. “It will be challenging because even the so-called smaller teams have made significant progress, as we saw in the last AFCON. However, I believe we have the quality to advance from the group,” he remarked.
Eric Chelle’s side will aim to capitalize on this opportunity while preparing for the challenges posed by their Group C opponents.
