Ademola Lookman, the coach of Nigeria’s national football team, confirmed that the Super Eagles are focused on winning their next two 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea‑Bissau.
Lookman said the team is “determined to win” the fixtures, which are part of the CAF qualification campaign for the 2027 tournament. The matches are scheduled to be played in the coming weeks, with Nigeria looking to secure a place in the continental competition.
“We have a clear target for these games,” Lookman told reporters. “The Super Eagles will give everything to win against Madagascar and Guinea‑Bissau.”
Both opponents are part of the same qualification group, and a win in each match would strengthen Nigeria’s position in the standings. The results will also help the squad build momentum ahead of the final stages of the qualifiers.
As the African national teams prepare for the 2027 AFCON, Nigeria’s coaching staff remains confident that the Super Eagles can achieve the desired outcomes in the upcoming fixtures.
