Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has warned that Nigeria’s semi-final clash against host nation, Morocco at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will not be an easy contest, expressing confidence, however, that the team has what it takes to succeed.
Osimhen spoke after Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Algeria in Saturday’s quarter-final encounter.
“Hopefully, one game at a time. It is not going to be easy for us, but I believe in this squad, and I believe in the players,” the Napoli forward said.
The Super Eagles striker, who has scored three goals so far in the ongoing tournament, will be aiming to add to his tally when Nigeria face Morocco in the semi-final on Wednesday.
Osimhen also assured Nigerian fans of the team’s determination to win the Africa Cup of Nations title following their impressive performance against Algeria.
“To the Super Eagles fans, thank you so much for your support worldwide. This victory was not easy, and I’m happy the team got the win against Algeria,” he said.
“We’ll continue to build on this momentum, hopefully, we’ll get to the final and win it,” Osimhen added in a video posted on X by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Nigeria’s victory over Algeria secured their place in the semi-finals, where they will take on Morocco in front of a home crowd, as the Super Eagles continue their quest for a fourth AFCON title.
