Gusau says AFCON win will heal World Cup heartbreak

The head of Nigeria's football federation says the Super Eagles are targeting an AFCON championship. NFF president Ibrahim Gusau stated the team is prepared to lift the trophy in Morocco. This follows their painful loss in the final of the last tournament.

Gusau acknowledged the lingering disappointment from failing to qualify for the upcoming World Cup. He believes winning the African title would help ease that frustration for supporters. The team has arrived in Fez for the competition.

Nigeria, coached by Eric Chelle, is considered a top contender. Their first group match will be against Tanzania. The federation's clear goal is to secure the nation's fourth continental championship.
