AFCON 2025: We’re ready to push to achieve our goal of winning AFCON – Chukwueze

Samuel Chukwueze has declared that the Super Eagles are fully prepared to push towards their objective of winning the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

The Super Eagles will continue their quest for a fourth continental title on Monday when they take on Mozambique in Fes. Eric Chelle’s side will head into the round of 16 clash as favourites against a Mozambique team making its first-ever appearance in the AFCON knockout stage.

Chukwueze was in outstanding form during Nigeria’s 3–1 victory over Uganda in their final group game, providing two assists through his direct runs and creativity.

The AC Milan winger, currently on loan at Fulham, spoke to journalists during the team’s official training session on Sunday ahead of the knockout encounter.

According to Chukwueze, the entire squad is united and determined to give everything required to achieve their ambition of lifting the AFCON trophy.

“We are very calm and we know we are ready to face any team,” he said. “The players on the bench, everybody is ready to give everything. It doesn’t matter who plays. You can see from the last three games that the team is ready to push towards our goal, which is winning the AFCON title.”
