Following the Super Eagles’ dominant run into the 2025 TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-finals after defeating Algeria 2–0 in Marrakech, the Nigeria Football Federation has commended the national team head coach, Éric Sékou Chelle, for the success recorded so far.
According to a Monday statement made available to TVC News on Monday, NFF noted that Chelle will walk inside the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Morocco with springs in his steps, having never lost a competitive match in regulation time since taking over Nigeria’s ‘A’ squad 12 months ago.
Chelle’s tally is a tidy 11 wins in 17 matches of the Super Eagles, with five draws, and losing once in regulation time to the Pharaohs of Egypt when Nigeria put out an understrength squad in a friendly in Cairo on 16 December.
