Super Eagles striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, has revealed that the Super Eagles of Nigeria have set their sight on winning the Africa Cup of Nation’s 2023 tournament coming up in January 2024 in Ivory Coast.
Speaking in an interview with Channels Television on Friday, Awoniyi said the team having achieved qualification for the next tournament, is determined to win it this time around.
“I think everyone in the squad is happy, the first stage is to qualify for the AFCON which we did already, then the next stage now is just to try everything possible to win the AFCON which is the target for the country.
“The last one was an experience, I was there and we are happy we are there again and of course, we want to go there and we want to win the trophy for sure,” Awoniyi, who also plays for English Premier League side, Nottingham Forest said.
The Eagles were eliminated in the second stage of the last edition in Cameroon in 2021, losing 1-0 to Tunisia after Alex Iwobi was sent a red card for a harsh tackle.
