Nigeria

Nigeria coach Éric Sékou Chelle says he is aware of, and prepared for, the expectations of Super Eagles fans.

Whether as breakout stars, headline makers or players set to make a difference for their clubs and countries, these eight appear set for a major year in their careers.

In a historic move, Nigeria have named former Mali coach Éric Sékou Chelle as the new manager of the men's senior national team.

It's 2025, and African sports fans have plenty to be excited about across multiple sports, from football (both kinds), to the NBA, BAL, college sports, cricket, the Springboks rugby team, and more.

A flurry of three goals in a six-minute span propelled Nigeria to a 3-1 win over Ghana, but more importantly secured a return to the African Nations Championship (CHAN) for the first time in six years.

Nigeria striker Ademola Lookman said that switching his playing nationality from England to the Super Eagles in 2022 was key to his current success.

Nigeria's Ademola Lookman may have been named Africa's finest at the CAF Awards last Monday, but you'd be hard pressed to argue that he's enjoying a better season than Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.

Nigerians, as a whole, are huge sports fans, especially when it comes to soccer-slash-football. Here are some gift ideas for the Nigerian sports fan, some more realistic than others!

CAF had appeared to float the prospect that he might miss out on a prize that appeared to be destined for him.

Ademola Lookman was named the CAF African Footballer of the Year on Monday at an awards ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco after a stellar season with Atalanta and the Nigeria national team.
