Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has named Africa’s number one team as the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, kicks off on Sunday.
Oliseh, in a video posted on his X account on Sunday, identified 2025 AFCON hosts Morocco as the continent’s leading team.
According to him, the North Africans deserve the top spot because they are the first African nation to reach the semi-final stage of the World Cup.
He noted that Morocco has developed a distinctive playing style and invested in infrastructure to support football development in their country.
“Morocco is now Africa’s number one team. First African nation to get to the semi-final of the World Cup,” Oliseh said.
“They won a bronze medal in the last Olympics. They came third—they would’ve won it, but they lost to the eventual winners, Spain, in the semi-final.
“So now, in any direction you look at it, Morocco have built infrastructures, they have a strategy and have decided on a playing style, they have set up a wage system.”
