Ikechukwu Ezenwa, one of Nigeria’s three goalkeepers representing Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations has said Super Eagles stand a good chance of winning the competition.
The Super Eagles are returning to the AFCON for the first time since their triumph on South African soil in 2013.
“We have prepared well for this competition and everyone is looking forward to our first game against Burundi on Saturday,” Ezenwa told Complete Sports.
“We know what is at stake and I believe we have the quality to emerge champions at the end of the day.”
Gernot Rohr’s side will open their campaign in Alexandria on Saturday when they face Burundi.
They will also come up against Guinea and Madagascar (also debutants) on June 26 and June 30 respectively in Group B.
Nigeria, who lost their last pre-AFCON friendly 1-0 to Senegal on Sunday, arrived in Alexandria earlier this week.
