The football administrator feels Gernot Rohr’s men can compete for the title despite being pooled against the Pharaohs on Tuesday evening in Yaounde
Nigeria have been handed a great chance of winning the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations thanks to a ‘favourable’ draw in the group stage, according to seasoned football administrator Samuel Olatunji-Okuku.
Gernot Rohr’s men will face Egypt, Sudan and Guinea Bissau in Group D in Cameroon and are heavy favourites to reach at least the round of 16.
Although the Pharaohs appear to be the Super Eagles’ toughest opposition in the group stages, the Tripple 44 Academy boss sees no reason why the three-time African champions should not overcome the North Africans and fight through to the knockout stages in their bid to reclaim a title they last lifted in 2013.
