The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has set a semi-final target for Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

According to SCORENigeria, Chelle met with the NFF technical committee in Abuja on Monday and agreed on a reasonable aim for the team.

The Malian has also been tasked with infusing new blood into the team following the Super Eagles’ failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Chelle is scheduled to announce a 28-man squad for the AFCON 2025 finals this week.

The Super Eagles are placed in Group C, with Tunisia, Tanzania, and Uganda.

They open their campaign on December 23 against Tanzania.

Nigeria finished second at the last edition of the competition hosted by Cote d’Ivoire.
