It’s AFCON 2021 Trophy Or Nothing – Umar

Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar has assured that they will do everything possible to make Nigeria proud at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

Recall that the three-time AFCON champions are pitted in Group D alongside Egypt, Guinea-Bissau and Sudan. They will commence their campaign against seven-time champions, the Pharaohs on January 11.

Umar is one of the nine forwards listed by interim coach Austin Eguavoen for the continental showpiece and he says Nigeria won’t disappoint their countrymen in Cameroon.

“We have been working hard for over a week now and we will take our chances in Cameroon,” Sadiq told PUNCH Sports Extra.

“Training has been good and we believe we will not disappoint.

“We will fight for the team and make the country proud. Our aim is to go all the way to the final and win it.”
