With just a few months to go before the Africa Cup of Nations, an internal development is stirring the Super Eagles. According to several sources close to the team, key players from Nigeria are backing Victor Osimhen’s candidacy to become the new captain or, failing that, vice-captain for the upcoming AFCON.
This stance reflects the growing influence of the Nigerian striker within the locker room. A major figure in African football, Osimhen has established himself as a natural leader, and his name is frequently mentioned among players who desire a more embodied and unifying captaincy, especially as the pressure mounts for this tournament.
While the final decision will rest with the coach and the federation, this internal support could carry significant weight. For the Super Eagles, in search of stability and a new impetus, entrusting more responsibilities to Victor Osimhen seems evident to many. The coming hours could be decisive in the hierarchy of Nigerian leadership.
