The Chairman of the House Committee on Sports, Honourable Kabiru Amadu, has commended the Super Eagles for their early qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco. The qualification was sealed on Thursday after Libya's 1-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali ensured Nigeria secured one of the top two spots in their group.
Honourable Amadu, who represents Gusau/Tsafe Federal Constituency in Zamfara State, praised the team for their consistent efforts throughout the qualifying campaign. He stated, "The early qualification of the team is a testament to the quality of the players and their determination since the start of the qualifiers."
Acknowledging the team's recent successes, Honourable Amadu emphasized that the Super Eagles' achievements were no accident. "This is really good for Nigeria, and I want to thank the players and coaches for proving that reaching the AFCON final earlier this year was not a fluke," he remarked. He also lauded the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for its effective management, noting that the absence of crises during the qualifiers highlighted the board’s professionalism.
Looking ahead, Honourable Amadu urged the team to focus on the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. He expressed confidence in their ability to secure victories in their remaining matches, citing the exceptional talent within the squad as a key strength.
The Super Eagles cemented their group dominance with a 1-1 draw against Benin Republic in Abidjan on Thursday night. Their impressive qualification campaign has heightened hopes for another stellar performance at the 2025 AFCON tournament.
