The captain of the home-based Super Eagles Nduka Junior Harrison has indicated Nigeria’s resolve to tackle every opponent with the utmost importance at the 2024 Championship for Africa Nations.
The Nigerian team secured their spot in the competition after defeating Ghana 3-1 in Uyo in the second leg fixture after a goalless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium in the first encounter.
The Remo Stars skipper, who will lead the CHAN Eagles in East Africa, is optimistic about their chances when the tournament kicks off on February 1, 2025. “We are not the favourites. That [favourites] will be teams like Morocco and co-hosts Tanzania and Kenya, we will respect our opponents, but we are not scared of any of them.
“We will give our best, just as we did against Ghana in the playoffs. We are united and have quality players who will represent the country for the CHAN. It’s an opportunity to showcase yourself and boost your profile.”
The draw for the tournament is scheduled to take place on January 15 in Kenya, where Nigeria will learn their group-stage opponents. The tournament kicks off next in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
