Speaking to the Club’s media, Kola believes the Super Eagles will go far in the competition if they continue with the same mentality and spirit they exhibited in their opening match against Egypt. Kola believes the Super Eagles of Nigeria are one of the favorites to win the Africa Cup of Nations which is currently underway in Cameroon. "Looking at how the Super Eagles played last night, I think if they continue playing like that with the same mentality and spirit throughout the tournament, they are already 80% on their way to winning the AFCON," Kola said. Nigeria started their AFCON campaign on a bright note following a 1-0 triumph over Egypt thanks to a Kelechi Iheanacho volley in the 30 th minute which was enough to sink the Pharaohs.

  Zambia National Team midfielder Enock Mwepu has described the Africa Cup of Nations as a powerful force that unites the entire African continent. In an interview with Albion TV, Mwepu says the AFCON provides the chance to African players to showcase their talent at the biggest tournament, which is the every player’s tournament to play in. The Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder is confident the current crop of Chipolopolo players will make it to the Africa Cup of Nations in the near future but will need to work hard so that they can qualify and compete at the tournament. Mwepu says despite failing, the team must be lessons from the failure to qualify and remain united so that they can realize the dream of featuring at the Africa Cup.
