Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has declared that the Nigerian national team is prepared to give everything to secure a victory in their upcoming AFCON 2025 clash against Tunisia.
The highly anticipated Matchday 2 encounter takes place this Saturday at the Complexe Sportif de Fès, featuring the two dominant forces of Group C. Following Nigeria’s 2-1 win over Tanzania and Tunisia’s 3-1 dismissal of Uganda, both sides enter the game with three points, knowing a win effectively guarantees a spot in the Round of 16.
The Paris FC attacker emphasized that the squad is fully focused on the objective of early qualification to avoid any pressure in the final group game. While Nigeria currently trails the Carthage Eagles on goal difference, the Super Eagles aim to leapfrog their North African rivals and take total control of the standings. Simon noted that the team spirit remains high following their successful start in Morocco.
“We want the three points against Tunisia, everybody wants to win and we want to be there,” the Paris FC star told reporters as the team intensified their training drills.
A triumph on Saturday would not only secure progression but also serve as a major statement of intent for Éric Chelle’s men as they pursue Nigeria’s fourth continental title. The technical crew is expected to rely on Simon’s pace and experience to unlock a disciplined Tunisian defense that has conceded only once in the tournament so far.
