Nigerian defender, Leon Balogun has stressed that it is important for the Super Eagles to get back to the top as the Number one in Africa.
He believes this is possible if the Super Eagles deliver good performances in upcoming games.
“Everybody knows it’s a difficult situation, a lot of people think it’s not really possible but you need to have this supreme confidence if you are playing for the Super Eagles. We are top of Africa, we need to get back to the top, we need to earn that again. We still have the reputation but we just need to back it up with performances,” Leon Balogun told Ayodele Olu Ibidapo on his official YouTube channel.
Balogun, a former regular in the Super Eagles team has not been in the national team since 2022.
He is currently in fine form at his club Celtic and is hoping for a return to the Super Eagles.
Nigeria will return to action in March for games against Rwanda and Zimbabwe in the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
