AFCON 2025: Super Eagles clash won’t be easy — Uganda Coach Paul Put

Uganda head coach, Paul Put is bracing for a significant challenge as his team prepares to face the Super Eagles of Nigeria in their final Group C fixture. The Cranes are scheduled to meet the Nigerian side on Tuesday in a match that will determine their future in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The stakes are high for Uganda, as they must secure a victory to maintain any hope of progressing to the Round of 16. The team currently holds just one point following their opening matches against Tunisia and Tanzania.In contrast, the Super Eagles have already guaranteed their place in the knockout stages and require only a single point from this encounter to clinch the top spot in the group. The Belgian manager acknowledged the difficulty of the task ahead, noting that defeating a side of Nigeria’s caliber is a formidable objective.Despite the pressure, he has urged his squad to maintain their focus and competitive spirit. I told the players we must keep believing and fight until the last game. We are disappointed, but we have to reset and prepare for Nigeria. It wont be easy, Put said ahead of the game.   He noted that while the previous results were disappointing, the team must reset and prepare thoroughly for the challenge, reminding them that they must fight until the final whistle. The post AFCON 2025: Super Eagles clash wont be easy Uganda Coach Paul Put appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
