According to Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro, his squad will compete to win the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast in 2023.
Peseiro, who last Friday revealed his 25-man team for the next AFCON competition, which is set to take place from January 13 to February 11, acknowledged that the Eagles are in a difficult group because of their draw against Ivory Coast.
The Portuguese coach said to Nigeria Football Federation TV, “The Eagles’ group is not easy because hosts Ivory Coast is one of the favorites for the tournament due to their good squad and that they are playing at home.”
“Equatorial Guinea did better than Nigeria at the last AFCON, they got to the quarter-finals and Guinea-Bissau beat us at home in the qualifiers so it’s going to be a tough tournament, a tough job for us because we need to put in focus everytime, every minute and every seconds in the match.”
