Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has expressed heartfelt appreciation to Nigerian fans around the world for their unwavering support following Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Algeria in the quarter-final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
In a video message shared on social media on Saturday, the Galatasaray forward thanked supporters for standing by the team and assured them that the Super Eagles would build on the momentum as they push for a place in the final and ultimately lift the continental trophy.
“Hello to the Super Eagles fans. Thank you so much for your support worldwide. This victory was not easy and I’m happy that the team got the win against Algeria,” Osimhen said.
The 26-year-old acknowledged the toughness of the encounter against one of Africa’s top-ranked sides, noting that the team’s collective effort was key to securing the win.
“Thank you for your support and we continue to build on this momentum and hopefully we get to the final and win it. Thank you very much,” he added.
Osimhen further stressed the importance of maintaining focus as the competition progresses, insisting that the team would approach the tournament one match at a time.
“Hopefully, one game at a time. It’s not going to be easy, but of course, I believe in this team, I believe in the players. One game at a time,” he stated.
The quarter-final victory has set up a mouth-watering semi-final clash between Nigeria and host nation Morocco, scheduled for Wednesday, January 14, 2026.
Nigeria last won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013 in South Africa, edging Burkina Faso 1-0 in the final, and the Super Eagles will be hoping to end their long wait for another continental title.
