Former Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has informed that he will be in Morocco to support the team to a fourth AFCON title.
After 83 caps, three medals and featuring in five major tournaments, Ekong said his goodbyes to the Green/White jersey.
He told Sky Sports on the Super Eagles chances of winning the AFCON.
“The team is very well placed to achieve something at this AFCON.
“The last AFCON taught us so much. Of course, losing that, you learn a lot. You understand how to play that occasion better when it comes.

“I think the team will be unfazed now until that moment and they’ll definitely want to put those wrongs right.
“I’ll be there to support them as much as I can because I think if we have a chance to win the AFCON now in Morocco, I would still feel like I’ve been a part of that generation, the set of players, even though I wouldn’t be there at that moment.
“It would be a beautiful way to kind of crown the generation of players that we’ve had now and also give them the respect that they, over the years, probably deserved. But you need to earn it. There’s been a golden set before 2013 that won it.”
Morocco awaits Nigeria. But within all that, the opportunity to stand on the shoulders of Nigerian giants. Their problem? Whether the steps needed to climb the distance are achievable amid the dense pressure.
