Nigeria goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has pledged to remain focused and support his teammates, particularly Stanley Nwabali, as the Super Eagles gears up for the 2025 Africa cup of Nations opener.
The West African Football heavyweights will open their account at the tournament on Tuesday against Tanzania in a high-stake clash.
Speaking to Elegbete TV Sports, Uzoho reflected on his role in the squad, his relationship with fellow goalkeepers, and his mindset ahead of Nigeria’s first game of the tournament.
“When Nwabali was chosen to be first choice, I had to support him. That is what I will do if he’s still the one that will play,” he said.
Nigeria are aiming to make a meaningful impact at the continental showpiece, having missed out on World Cup qualification.
The 35th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations commenced on Sunday, December 21, with Morocco defeating Comoros in their opening match.
