AFCON 2025: Moses Simon Vows Super Eagles Will Push for Tunisia Win

Super Eagles winger Moses Simon has declared that Nigeria is fully focused on securing maximum points in their next Group C fixture against Tunisia at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The crucial encounter will take place on Saturday at the Complexe de Fès, with both sides coming into the match on the back of impressive opening victories in Morocco.

Nigeria edged Tanzania 2–1 in their first game, while the Carthage Eagles announced their intentions with a convincing 3–1 win over Uganda. With both teams level on points, Saturday’s clash is shaping up to be one of the standout fixtures of the group stage.

A victory for the Super Eagles would guarantee qualification for the Round of 16, and Simon admitted that securing all three points is the team’s immediate objective.

“We want the three points against Tunisia,” the Paris FC star told reporters. “Everybody wants to win, and we want to be there.”

Opinion: A Statement Match for Nigeria

Beyond qualification, this match carries a deeper significance for the Super Eagles. Tunisia are not just group rivals—they are a familiar benchmark in African football. Beating them would send a clear message that Nigeria is not merely progressing through the tournament but aiming to dominate it.

Simon’s confidence reflects a squad that believes in its ability and understands what is at stake. With attacking pace, tournament experience, and growing unity within the team, Nigeria has the tools to turn this clash into a defining moment of their AFCON campaign.

However, Tunisia’s discipline and tactical strength mean the Super Eagles must combine ambition with composure. If Nigeria can balance both, Saturday’s game could mark the point where belief turns into real authority.

For fans, it promises ninety minutes of intensity, pride, and a genuine test of how far this Super Eagles side can go.
