By Saheed Afolabi
Nigeria forward, Akor Adams has set his sights on having a positive outing at the 2025 Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
The Sevilla striker will be making his debut at the continental showpiece in Morocco following his fantastic form in Europe.
Adams has put the disappointing World Cup miss behind him as he believes the AFCON is another opportunity for the team to redeem their image.
“I am disappointed as every Nigerian and as every player in the team. But as in football and also in life you have to look forward and we have another opportunity to redeem ourselves now.”
The goal poacher is ecstatic to play at his first AFCON as he’s convinced the Super Eagles are competent and prepared to win the title.
“Not just for the AFCON but being part of the Super Eagles for me it’s a blessing I am grateful to God for, I do not take it for granted, I try to give my best and I’m happy to be here.
“There are no advantages compared to how much you prepare. It doesn’t matter the weather or being here a thousand times, if you prepare good you will play good and that’s what we’ve been doing.”
Nigeria will clash with Tazania on Tuesday, December 23 at the Fez stadium, Fes.
