Lookman became angry after Juric decided to take him off in the second half. The forward did not agree with the substitution and made his displeasure known immediately. The disagreement quickly turned into a verbal exchange in front of the technical…

Super Eagles shot-stopper Stanley Nwabali is full of belief that Nigeria can go to Morocco next year and return as champions of Africa.

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations offers another chance to make history, and Nwabali insists the team understands the expectations of millions of Nigerians who will be following every step of the journey. The West Africans came heartbreakingly close to lifting the trophy earlier this year, before losing 2-1 to hosts Cote d’Ivoire in…

Gabon head coach Thierry Mouyouma says his team is working on a unique tactical setup aimed at neutralizing Nigeria’s in-form striker, Victor Osimhen, in their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifying playoff. The coach admitted that dealing with the Galatasaray forward will require more than ordinary defending, describing Osimhen as “a striker you can’t predict.” Despite missing several qualifying matches through injury, Osimhen remains Nigeria’s top performer in the campaign, scoring six goals in just five appearances to keep the Super Eagles’ World Cup dream alive. His club form has been equally impressive ; the 26-year-old netted a hat-trick against Ajax…

Arteta’s team have also begun…
