The Super Eagles fell to a 2-1 defeat against the hosts in the final of the competition on Sunday night.
Jose Peseiro’s side scored first through William Troost-Ekong in the first half but the Elephants rallied to win the keenly contested.

Iheanacho, who came in as a second half substitute in the game thanked Nigerians for their support.
“Normally na this one dey pain pass wey you don see the trophy but you no touch am ba wahala
We will be back,” he wrote on his X handle.
“Thank you to all Nigerian that supported us God bless you all, let’s keep believing
Thank you Most High God .”
The Super Eagles will now shift attention to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers which will resume in June.

Honestly, I think the Coach should have stated Iheanacho instead of Chukwezze in the final. He left footed , and a better goal passer and goal scorer than Chukwezze. Paseiro does not know our players very well
Kelz is right..Nothing don pain pass as a Nigeria reach this one…
Only what I want Super Eagles to do for me is to beat Banana Bafana home and away in world cup qualifier.
Afcon in my opinion was not a disappointment. Reaching the final is not a disappointment! We didn’t expect you guys to get that far, so kudos
Coach Peisero was really unfair to Iheanacho in the AFCON 2023. He was among the best SE players going into the AFCON….
