Super Eagles brand ‘Let’s Do It Again’ ahead of 2024 AFCON

The Super Eagles Nigeria, three-time Africa Cup of Nations winners claim they would use the rallying cry "Let's Do It Again" to help them win a fourth championship in Cote d'Ivoire early in 2019.

Before the final AFCON 2023 qualification game in Uyo last month against the Falcons and True Parrots of Sao Tome & Principe, the proposal was put out and unanimously approved.

The players and officials wore t-shirts with the message after the game at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, which The Eagles won 6-0.

Nigeria won the 1980 AFCON that it hosted, as well as the finals in South Africa in 2013 and Tunisia in 1994.

The playing group and crew, according to team captain William Ekong, have embraced the new chant.

“We like the phrase because it gives us confidence and the go-go push. We have done it before so we can do it again. Winning the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire is our goal and we have the team to do just that.”

Defender Kenneth Omeruo added: “I look around and I see players who have the capacity to make it happen. We are all ambitious.

"The team is a blend of old and wise heads and exciting new talents. We will go for the trophy in Cote d’Ivoire.”

With the majority of the team that thrashed Sao Tome and Principe on the field, the Super Eagles will continue their preparation on Friday when they play Saudi Arabia in a friendly at the Estadio Municipal de Portimo in Portugal.
