Salomon Kalou, the ex-Ivory Coast star, is backing Nigeria to take the whole AFCON tournament this year. He thinks the Super Eagles have a stacked squad, highlighting Victor Osimhen as a world-class striker up front. Kalou also pointed to the attacking threats of Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze, along with Wilfred Ndidi's solid midfield presence, as reasons for their strong balance.
Nigeria, a historically successful team with three titles already, will start its campaign in Group C against Tanzania. They then face Tunisia and Uganda. After finishing as runners-up last time, the team is aiming to finally clinch a fourth championship under the current setup.
