the return of musa，abdullahi and brown ideye to the npfl will boost our chances of qualifying for the chan and possibly win it for the firsttime，its the only football turnament in africa that Nigeria is yet to have it Gold medal after previously winning bronze and silva，
with the tactical and technical knowlodge of oguns and fidelix in the africa coaching field I am verry optimistic that the supereagles will bring the Gold cup from the eastern region of the continent， our preparation should start early because we have ghana to face in the head to head battle of qualification for this turnament，we missed the last edition，we cant afford to miss this one。
