Texen, the renowned clothier and Soccer Buff, has hailed Nigeria’s Super Eagles’ two victories so far in the AFCON 2025 tournament as significant, given their failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
CEO Tex Egbedi emphasized that only the AFCON trophy will make Nigeria happy over the World Cup miss. The wins have been a welcome boost for the team, coming from behind to win 2-1 against Tanzania and then securing a thrilling 3-2 win over Tunisia.
Goals from Semi Ajayi, Ademola Lookman, and Victor Osimhen have showcased the team’s firepower, while Wilfred Ndidi’s leadership has been instrumental in their success.
The Super Eagles’ next match is against Uganda, and a win will guarantee them top spot in Group C. Captain Wilfred Ndidi has expressed confidence in the team’s ability to go all the way, stating that their target is clear: to win the trophy.
The team’s strong performances have also earned praise from coach Eric Chelle, who highlighted their mental and physical readiness. The AFCON tournament is known for its unpredictability, and Nigeria will face tough competition in the knockout stages.
However, with their current form and squad, the Super Eagles are definitely a team to watch out for. The likes of Osimhen, Lookman, and Chukwueze provide a potent attacking threat, while the defense has shown signs of vulnerability.
As Nigeria looks to make a deep run in the tournament, the support of fans like Tex Egbedi will be crucial. The CEO’s comments reflect the high expectations surrounding the team, and only time will tell if they can deliver.
For now, the focus is on securing a spot in the knockout stages and making a statement in African football.
