Former international Odion Ighalo has urged the Super Eagles to be mentally strong ahead of their 2025 AFCON semi-final clash against Morocco.
Nigeria will face the Atlas Lions in Rabat on Wednesday, aiming for a spot in the tournament final. The Super Eagles enter the match with a perfect record, winning all five of their games so far and scoring the highest number of goals in the competition (14).
Morocco, playing at home in the Moulay Hassan Stadium, is expected to create a challenging atmosphere with their passionate supporters.
Ighalo, however, believes Nigeria can overcome the host nation.
“The players must be mentally ready for the game. They will be under pressure against Morocco. The Moroccan team is young, mobile, and very fast on the ball,” Ighalo told SuperSport.
“If Nigeria want to win, the players must put in even more effort than they did against Algeria and silence that stadium. I believe they have the ability to do that.”
