President Tinubu congratulates Super Eagles on AFCON Bronze Medal 


President Bola Tinubu congratulates the Nigerian national team, Super Eagles, for Saturday's bronze medal victory at the 2025 African Cup of Nations.


The President commends the Super Eagles for putting behind them the disappointment of the semi-final loss to host nation Morocco last Wednesday.


The Super Eagles overpowered Egypt, defeating the seven-time AFCON winner, in a penalty shootout after the regular time, in which the Nigerian team dominated.


President Tinubu states that the Super Eagles players, through their victory, have once again demonstrated the determination, persistence, and can-do spirit associated with our country.


The President remarks: "Despite their good run during the tournament, the Eagles lost the semi-final match to Morocco during the penalty shootout last Wednesday, and our people's hopes of winning the championship were dashed.


"However, our players remained undaunted, and exhibiting the resilience of the Nigerian spirit, their efforts have now paid off.


"We will all be proud of them as they receive their hard-earned bronze medal on Sunday in Rabat, Morocco. 


"Thank you, our gallant Super Eagles. Thank you, our national team players. This bronze medal surely feels good like gold."


Bayo Onanuga,

Special Adviser to the President,
