President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Super Eagles for clinching the bronze medal at the 2025 African Cup of Nations on Saturday.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the president praised the team for exhibiting the determination, resilience, and can-do spirit that define Nigeria.
Tinubu also commended the Super Eagles for bouncing back from the disappointment of their semi-final defeat to host nation Morocco last Wednesday.
It was reported that the Super Eagles overpowered Egypt, defeating the seven-time AFCON winner, in a penalty shootout after the regular time, in which the Nigerian team dominated.
“Despite their good run during the tournament, the Eagles lost the semi-final match to Morocco during the penalty shootout last Wednesday, and our people’s hopes of winning the championship were dashed.
“However, our players remained undaunted, and exhibiting the resilience of the Nigerian spirit, their efforts have now paid off.
“We will all be proud of them as they receive their hard-earned bronze medal on Sunday in Rabat, Morocco.
“Thank you, our gallant Super Eagles. Thank you, our national team players. This bronze medal surely feels good like gold,” Tinubu stated.
