Super Eagles Coach Eric Chelle to Attend AFCON 2025 Draw
Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, is set to attend the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations draw, which will take place at the Mohammed V National Theatre in Rabat on Monday.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is expected to release the official draw procedure over the weekend as anticipation builds for the tournament.
Nigeria, three-time AFCON champions, will enter the draw as one of the top seeds, thanks to their strong performance and ranking.
The Super Eagles are currently among Africa’s top six teams in the FIFA rankings, a testament to their consistency and talent.
Their impressive run at the AFCON 2023 finals in Côte d’Ivoire, where they finished as runners-up, further solidifies their position as strong contenders for the 2025 edition.
Turkish football pundit Cem Dizdar has advised Galatasaray to start considering a backup plan for Victor Osimhen’s possible departure.
Dizdar believes Osimhen’s agent might be keeping Galatasaray in the dark about the striker’s next move ahead of the summer transfer window.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last September, has been in top form this season, netting 26 goals in 30 matches. His impressive performances have sparked fresh transfer rumours, with Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly interested in signing him.
Dizdar suggested that Osimhen’s agent’s recent behavior indicates that something is brewing behind the scenes. “When a manager starts talking too much, it means there’s something going on. He’s hiding things from us, but the truth will come out soon,” Dizdar said, as reported by habersarikirmizi.
He added that Galatasaray needs to be prepared for Osimhen’s exit. “Big players like Osimhen fit into top clubs like Galatasaray, but they always need a backup plan. No one expected Osimhen to replace Mauro Icardi, but he did. Now, Galatasaray must think of an alternative.”
Galatasaray player, Victor Osimhen is reportedly available and cleared for the match against Beskitas on Saturday.
The player’s availability was not yet confirmed due to his muscle injury from his last match. However Osimhen has now been cleared to play in the Turkish Super Lig match.
The Nigerian player have set out an impressive record in this elagsu alone with 8 goals. Osimhen is currently leading the Turkish Super Lig with 20 goals from his 22 appearances.
Galatasaray occupies top spot on the Turkish Super Lig table.
The Super Eagles are set to compete in a four-nation tournament in England this June, alongside Ghana’s Black Stars and Jamaica’s Reggae Boys.
Reports from SCORENigeria reveal that the team will head to England after their historic first-ever match against Russia in Moscow.
The tournament will serve as preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa in September.
The Super Eagles have struggled in the qualifiers so far, managing just one win from six games. Eric Chelle’s team currently sits fourth in Group C with seven points.
