Former Ivory Coast international Salomon Kalou is rooting for the Super Eagles to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
The Super Eagles finished second at the last edition of the competition, losing 2-1 to hosts Cote d’Ivoire in the final.
Éric Chelle’s men will be looking to go a step further this time around.
Kalou believed that the Super Eagles have the quality to claim the title in Morocco.
“Nigeria look very strong this year. With Victor Osimhen leading the line, they have one of the most feared strikers in world football,” Kalou wrote in his weekly blog in the Tribuna.
“Add in the pace and creativity of Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze, plus Wilfred Ndidi’s stability in midfield, and you see a team with balance and depth.”
Nigeria remain one of the most successful countries in the competition with three titles, five runners-up finishes, and eight bronze medals.
The West Africans will face Tanzania, Tunisia and Uganda in Group C.
They will begin their quest for a fourth title against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania next week Tuesday.
