Rangers defender Leon Balogun has shared what he believes the Super Eagles need to do to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Nigeria last lifted the AFCON trophy in 2013 and came close again in the last edition, finishing as runners-up in Côte d’Ivoire. As they prepare for the next tournament in Morocco, Balogun emphasized the importance of ambition, confidence, and a solid game plan.

Speaking to Flashscore, he stressed that every team enters the AFCON to win, and Nigeria must approach it the same way. He also noted that after their heartbreak in the last final, the Super Eagles have a point to prove.

“You have to go there with a lot of ambition, a lot of confidence, but also with a clear plan,” he said.

Manchester United has unveiled ambitious plans for a new £2 billion stadium, aiming to set a new benchmark in football infrastructure. The proposed 100,000-seat venue is designed by renowned architect Lord Norman Foster, known for iconic projects like London’s Wembley Stadium.

The stadium’s design features a vast umbrella-like structure that harvests energy and rainwater, symbolizing Manchester’s industrial heritage.

The exterior will be adorned with tensile fabric and triple masts inspired by the club’s logo, reflecting the city’s weather and urban spirit. The development includes a public plaza twice the size of Trafalgar Square, aiming to create a vibrant community space.

Planned adjacent to the current Old Trafford site, the new stadium aims to ensure continuity for fans and minimize disruption during construction.

However, the project faces logistical challenges, including the potential relocation of a rail terminal. Securing necessary approvals and integrating the stadium into the existing urban fabric will require careful planning.

Funding the £2 billion project presents significant challenges. Manchester United’s current debt levels raise questions about financing the stadium without compromising financial stability. Government support may be crucial to realize this vision, but the financial implications are complex and require thorough assessment.
