Super Eagles forward Moses Simon has said that he and his teammates are fully prepared to give everything against Guinea-Bissau. Eric Chelle’s boys are set to face the Wild Dogs at the 24 September Stadium in Bissau after opening their Group L campaign with a comeback victory in Uyo.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, Simon stated that while Nigerians are still happy with the result against Madagascar, focus has shifted completely to the second assignment.
Moses added that despite making his 100th senior appearance in the last game, his attention is on the collective task at hand, not personal recognition.
His words, “We are well prepared for the game. We will give everything to get the victory.”
The Nigeria national football team represents Nigeria in international men’s football. Governed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), they are three-time Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winners, with their most recent title in 2013.
In February 2024, the Nigerian national football team was ranked 28th in the FIFA rankings. The team has qualified for six of the last nine FIFA World Cups, missing only the 2006, 2022 and 2026 tournaments.
They have reached the round of 16 on three occasions. Their first World Cup appearance was in the 1994 edition. The Nigeria Football Federation is affiliated with FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations but were successful in their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign, qualifying for the final tournament in South Africa after an 8–3 aggregate win over Liberia. They defeated Burkina Faso 1–0 in the final to lift the Cup for the third time.
