AFCON 2025: Super Eagles Coach Chelle Demands More from Team

Posted : 24 December 2025

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has called for improvements despite Nigeria’s 2-1 victory over Tanzania in their opening match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Chelle acknowledged that the team created several opportunities, particularly in the first half, but admitted that mistakes in the second half allowed Tanzania back into the game. He noted that while the opening win was encouraging, the team must demonstrate greater discipline and control as the tournament progresses.

“At this level, small details decide games. We played well, but we must reduce our mistakes, especially against stronger opponents,” Chelle said.

He added that the encounter provided useful lessons for the technical staff ahead of more challenging group-stage matches. “AFCON is about consistency. We will analyse this game carefully and make the necessary corrections before the next match,” he stated.

Chelle expressed satisfaction with the win but emphasized that steady improvement remains the most important objective in a long AFCON campaign. He confirmed that the technical team would review the match immediately to address lapses ahead of Saturday’s crucial clash against Tunisia.

The coach also highlighted the need to improve off-the-ball movement, stressing that while the victory was deserved, much work remains to be done to ensure the team performs at its best throughout the tournament.
