The Super Eagles of Nigeria have made it three wins in three games at the ongoing 2025 AFCON.

Eric Chelle says his team is sending out a strong message to the rest of the competition’s contenders.

After already booking a place in the round of 16 stage, the Malian gaffer afforded to field in the bench warmers, who failed to disappoint.

Raphael Onyedika’s brace and Paul Onuachu’s goal secured a 3-1 win for Nigeria in the final Group C game at the Fez stadium in Fes on Tuesday, December 30, 2025.

Chelle, though he played down his team’s great form, warned others not focusing on their progress would have a price to pay.

“Three matches, three wins, I’m very happy […] It’s just three games; we haven’t done anything yet. But we sent a message saying we are here. And for those who aren’t focused, the price could be heavy!”
