Afcon 2025: Libya captain vows to shock Super Eagles in Uyo on Friday
Libya captain Feisal Al-Badri has boasted the Mediterranean Knights are in Uyo to beat the Super Eagles.
The Super Eagles are overwhelming favourites to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying Group D encounter.
Nasser Al-Hadiri’s side are yet to win a game in the qualifying series.
Al-Badri stated that the North Africans are looking to win their first game against the Super Eagles.
“We’re here to win,” he told a press conference in Uyo on Thursday.
“We know we’re up against the strongest team in Africa, but we came here to win.”
Libya head coach Nasser Al-Hadiri also said his team will give their all to beat the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The Mediterranean Knights must beat the Super Eagles to revive their chances of claiming a place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The North Africans have one point from two games in Group D.
Al-Hadiri declared that they will try their best to secure maximum points in the game.
“We lost 4-0 here before. Now we are back to see how we can improve our game,” he told a press conference in Uyo on Thursday.
“Being my first game isn’t going to put any pressure on me. We can only put pressure on Nigeria. We know it’s difficult to win here, but in Libya, we must try to secure victory.”
