Finidi said it’s every Africa nation dream to win the AFCON but the success of each qualified team depends on how they start the tournament.

 

He added, the Super Eagles will be approaching the 2024 AFCON with the mindset of winning the title.

 

“Every country wants to win the AFCON even before the competition begins, but when you get there, it all depends on how you start the tournament.

 

“If you start well, and the confidence builds up, that will take you even further. So, we aim to win it, but you never know what can happen.
