His statement, shared through spokesperson Diana-Mary Nsan, highlighted the need for the team to stay vigilant as they prepare for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, set to take place at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Friday.

“The strong start you have made in the qualifiers puts you in a great position to secure a spot in the 2025 AFCON tournament.
