Calvin Bassey asserts that the Super Eagles possess the talent needed to become champions at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, according to DAILY POST.

Bassey was a member of the squad that secured second place in the previous edition held in Cote d’Ivoire.

The Super Eagles fell 2-1 to the host nation, Cote d’Ivoire, in a fiercely contested final.

With most of the squad remaining intact, Bassey believes they have acquired enough experience to succeed this time.

“Absolutely, 100%. I was 23 during the last AFCON. I have matured, and many members of the team have also grown, gaining significant experience,” Bassey shared with Fulham TV.

This will be Bassey's second time representing Nigeria in a major tournament.

The 25-year-old is anticipated to play a crucial role for the Super Eagles in Morocco, particularly following the retirement of former captain William Troost-Ekong.

The defender and Semi Ajayi are the preferred choices for centre-back in Chelle’s lineup.
